Model Legislation: End Political Litmus Tests in Education Act
“The End Political Litmus Tests in Education Act can help preserve academic freedom and freedom of speech and conscience at public schools, colleges, and universities.” The Act aims to end required statements on a faculty candidate’s “diversity” commitment, underscoring that such requests function as “de facto political litmus tests and an effective tool for colleges, universities…to screen out viewpoint diversity.”
