This bill seeks $10,000,000 from the state’s corporate activities tax to the scholarship program for culturally and linguistically diverse teacher candidates.
Oregon revised statute 342.433’s constitutionally problematic definition of “diverse” to include specific racial groups has led to the dismantling of one state program and an amendment to at least one bill over constitutional concerns.
The bill received a hearing in the House Education and Workforce on February 12. https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Committees/HED/2025-02-12-15-00/HB3200/PUB/Details
Rep. Dwayne Yunker (R-Grants Pass), a member of the Education Committee, wrote Oregon Roundup,
“I’ve been sounding the alarm on race-based scholarship programs since day one. HB 3200 is just the latest unconstitutional bill that picks winners and losers based on skin color. I opposed HB 3030 and HB 3006 [which uses the term “members of a marginalized population] for the same reason—and legal experts backed me up. The state had to shut down a similar program after being sued, and now here we are again, doubling down on discrimination instead of fixing our schools.”

I oppose SB 1187 Climate Super Fund as the cause of Climate Change is (most of the time) because of GEOENGINEERING and HAARP better known as Global Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering Programs.

My emotions are running high regarding HB 3200. Funding for race diversity. This is still sounding like DEI and President Trump wants to get rid of it.
This is nothing more than a state version of affirmative action which the Supreme Court has already struck down.
