The act targets training sessions that would lead people to think that they bear personal responsibility for historic wrongs because of their race, color, sex or national origin. Further, the act bans training sessions in the workplace that compel people to believe that they are "morally superior" to members of another race, color, sex or national origin or that any race, color, sex or national origin is oppressed or privileged. More specifically, any mandatory trainings or discussions that "compels" employees to believe the following will be prohibited under the act:

Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin are morally superior to members of another race, color, sex, or national origin;

An individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously;

An individual's moral character or status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, sex, or national origin;

Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race, color, sex, or national origin;

An individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, bears responsibility for, or should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of, actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex, or national origin;

An individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment to achieve diversity, equity, or inclusion;

An individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin; and

Such virtues as merit, excellence, hard work, fairness, neutrality, objectivity, and racial colorblindness are racist or sexist, or were created by member of a particular race, color, sex, or national origin to oppress members of another race, color, sex, or national origin.

Referring to the act as "dangerous," critics believe that it discriminates against and singles out minorities. Most critics state that the bill is not necessary and will only serve to disadvantage minorities. As stated by Cathryn M. Oakley, State Legislative Directory and Senior Counsel at the Human Right Campaign, the act is "a thinly veiled political attack to marginalized communities [and only] fuels the discriminatory agenda of extremist legislators."
