A California bill that would prohibit local school boards from excluding books that contain 'diverse perspectives'—including critical race theory and gender ideology—hangs in limbo after a state Senate committee vote this week. The state Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously voted Aug. 21 to place Assembly Bill 1078 on the 'suspense file,' which is a holding place for bills that require a significant fiscal expense. The committee will reevaluate suspense bills Sept. 1 and choose to either advance them or keep them on suspense, effectively killing them, according to the state Senate guidelines.
