WILL:
The News: The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) and the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF) are preparing a legal challenge against the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for denying a conservative group, Young America’s Foundation (YAF), a student organization designation.
In violation of the First Amendment, UW-La Crosse is denying the group’s designation because the student organization rightfully refuses to sign onto a “DEI” inclusivity statement that opposes YAF’s values.
The Quotes: Dan Lennington, WILL Deputy Counsel stated, “We are now seeing the fruits of UW’s radical DEI agenda: students forced to adopt UW-approved beliefs before receiving benefits. This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Make no mistake, WILL is ready to challenge discriminatory DEI policies everywhere and anywhere. The school must correct this action, or we are prepared to take further legal action.”
Aside from whatever the benefits or drawbacks of such courses are, it doesn’t take much googling to realize they are common in left-dominated spaces and that the #MSM has had no serious interest in covering them. https://t.co/1jU5nmd7hA
