Aug 01, 2023 FILE - Nebraska state Sen. Dave Murman, R-Glenvil, sits in the Legislative Chamber in Lincoln, Neb., March 1, 2019. An out-of-session hearing by the Nebraska Legislature's Education Committee is signaling plans by conservatives to again push for legislation to determine how schools deal with race, LGBTQ+ issues and other hot-button issues. Murman is the conservative chairman of the Nebraska Legislature’s Education Committee. His hearing Monday, July 31, 2023, mostly discussed social-emotional learning, or SEL, which has become a lightning rod among conservatives who say schools use it to promote progressive ideas about race, gender and sexuality.
