Texas lawmaker proposes ban on DEI programs at public universities
The College Fix ^ | December 26, 2022 | Blake Mauro

Texas Republican Representative Carl Tepper has introduced a bill that seeks to forbid diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at all public universities in the Lonestar State.

The bill, introduced Dec. 13, seeks to ban “the funding, promotion, sponsorship or support of any office of diversity, equity and inclusion” as well as any “initiative or formulation of diversity, equity and inclusion beyond what is necessary to uphold the equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment.”

The legislation, HB 1006, also seeks to mandate that all higher education institutions adopt a policy that “demonstrates a commitment to intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity.”

And it would establish that public universities “foster a diversity of viewpoints” and “maintain political, social, and cultural neutrality.”

The legislation comes in the wake of the opening of Texas Tech’s Black Cultural Center in September, Tepper told The College Fix.

I admire the effort and his willingness to speak out on it.

But such efforts are predestined to fail.

As long as education is massively government funded, politics and ideology will control it

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion when translated come out as “Marxism, Leninism and Communism”.

They will just rename it or get a judge to overturn it. But its worth trying.

Good. No more celebrating people for their race, gender, sexual preference, or culture. We deal with individuals here, not collectives or tribes

Diversity and inclusion are precursors to enabling violence and squalor. At least that is the outcome on the West Coast where I live for places like Seattle, Portland, Eugene, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to name a few.

I like to hold on to those words, because they are spoken with the assurance they are irrefutable, although there is no evidence that somehow the virtue of the country is advanced when the accepted understanding results in a new societal environment.

Maybe Texas and Florida can work together to save America.
