‘Indoctrinate Students’: State Lawmakers Are Pushing Back On The Diversity Initiative Takeover On College Campuses

Several states are considering legislation that would stifle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts on college campuses across the country, according to a new tracker operated by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

The slew of legislation largely tackles banning mandatory DEI training, DEI-centered offices or programs or using DEI statements for hiring or admission decisions. It is necessary for state lawmakers to take action because “radical political activists now command so strong a position within universities,” David Randall, National Association of Scholars director of research, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Legislators should look for comprehensive legislation to address the remarkably large number of tactics that radical political activists use to enforce ideological conformity on universities,” he explained. “Legislation should seek to broaden financial and administrative transparency as much as possible; defund the cadre of enforcing bureaucrats in ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ offices and embedded throughout university administration; establish principles and practices of intellectual diversity, nondiscrimination, and university neutrality; provide legislators reliable information about whether reforms laws have been put into practice; and provide judicious enforcement mechanisms to remove university administrators who refuse to carry out reform laws.”
