In this Act: The terms elementary school , local educational agency , secondary school , and State have the meanings given those terms in section 8101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 7801 ). The term institution of higher education has the meaning given that term in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1002 ). The term promote , when used with respect to a race-based theory, means— to include race-based theories or materials that advocate such theories in curricula, reading lists, seminars, workshops, trainings, or other educational or professional settings in a manner that could reasonably give rise to the appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement; to contract with, hire, or otherwise engage speakers, consultants, diversity trainers, and other persons for the purpose of advocating such theories; and to compel students to profess a belief in such theories.
The term race-based theory means a theory that— any race is inherently superior or inferior to any other race; the United States is a fundamentally racist country; the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States is a fundamentally racist document; an individual's moral worth is determined by the race of the individual; an individual, by virtue of the race of the individual, is inherently racist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously; or an individual, because of the race of the individual, bears responsibility for the actions committed by members of the race of the individual.
