Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) & Critical Race Theory (CRT)
Students Deserve Freedom from Indoctrination
Every aspect of the college experience now incorporates some form of DEI indoctrination– from required diversity statements in college applications to identity politics during freshman orientation, and even divisive race-based teachings in the classroom.
Our 2022 Freshman Disorientation report revealed that freshman orientation programs at colleges and universities across America overwhelmingly cover issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), while attention to the free speech rights of students on campus or the role of viewpoint diversity in campus/academic health is strikingly absent.
That’s why we’ve been working on model legislation to prevent this fixation on DEI issues and instead nurture students’ understanding of their free speech rights. We partnered with the Goldwater Institute to create the Freedom from Indoctrination Act model policy. Click here to read all about it.
