West Virginia governor unveils sweeping education changes, including DEI ban and vaccine exemptions Latest job recruitment

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey implemented significant education reforms on January 13, 2025, including a ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and the introduction of religious vaccine exemptions. The executive orders mark a stark departure from previous policies, aiming to address perceived racial and gender biases in education while offering families the option to opt-out of vaccination requirements. These moves align with a broader conservative agenda, prompting both support and criticism.
