W.V. LAWYERS FINALIZE D.E.I. BAN

Lawmakers have passed a bill aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across state government and education.  The vote came late Saturday night.  Both chambers agreed to last-minute changes just before midnight.  The bill targets DEI offices and programs, banning training, job preferences, or any required statements tied to those policies.  It also restricts use of gender identity pronouns in public schools.
