Fourteen State Attorneys General Issue Antidiscrimination Guidance

Sep 22, 2026

The attorneys general of Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, California, Delaware, Hawaiʻi, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington have issued multistate guidance on protecting against discrimination by upholding state and federal civil rights laws. More than a traditional guidance brief, the document also warns that longstanding civil rights protections face growing challenges. In education, attorneys general recommend reviewing demographic data for disparities in funding, resources, and teacher quality; using objective school discipline standards; adopting evidence-based alternatives to exclusionary discipline; employing de-escalation, conflict resolution, and positive behavioral supports; and ensuring equitable access to advanced coursework and high-quality schools.
