A new report promises that there will be "legal action" if a school doesn't do anything to correct a situation where it is trashing the First Amendment in pursuit of its "diversity" ideology.
The report is from the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty which explains the problem is with the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse.
WILL confirmed it is working with the Mountain States Legal Foundation to prepare a challenge to the school's decision to refuse a conservative group, Young America's Foundation, recognition as a student organization.
Dan Lennington, a lawyer for WILL, explained, "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."
WILL charges that the school is discriminating by refusing YAL designation "because the student organization rightfully refuses to sign onto a "DEI inclusivity statement that opposes YAF's values."
The DEI agenda includes "diversity, equity and inclusion" and is based on racist ideals that condemn whites and tradition in favor of special privileges for minorities and the concept that everyone should have an equal result, not just an equal opportunity.
The legal team explained UW-La Crosse is denying recognition of YAF as a student organization until and unless it adopts the school's racist ideologies, a document, WILL explained, is "riddled with recitation of certain political and social policy positions dictated by UW. Some of these statements include a commitment to advancing the interests of individuals who lack 'documentation' to be legally present in the United States and requiring student groups to state their opposition to the enforcement of valid immigration laws currently in the United States."
WILL also noted the school demands students be "committed" to "issues of equity and justice" through racist policies that are contrary, in fact, to Supreme Court precedent.
James Kerwin, of the MSLF, said, "Universities are supposed to be havens for free inquiry and expression. But, like many schools nationwide, UW is going in the opposite direction: outlawing speech and trying to force dissenters to shut up and tow the party line. YAF and MSLF are having none of it. Government actors like UWL have no business whatsoever telling YAF or any other student group what beliefs it must have and what positions it must take on social issues."
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, "CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world's freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction."
