HF269 prohibits public universities and colleges governed by the Iowa Board of Regents from requiring or incentivizing students and faculty to engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training or critical race theory (CRT) content.

The Iowa State House of Representatives passed HF269 on March 18, 2025 by a vote of 63 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because programs such as CRT and DEI promote division, not unity. Rooted in Marxist ideology, these initiatives pit Americans against each other, fueling resentment and reverse racism—all at taxpayers' expense. Instead of promoting equality under the Constitution, they push for equity, which undermines merit and individual rights.
