A trio of Representatives, Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Laurel Lee (FL-15), and Jim Baird (IN-04), Thursday introduced the Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act.
This legislation aims to mirror a recent Florida law by prohibiting federally funded colleges and universities from engaging in school-sponsored Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) events, programs, and activities.
The lawmakers argue that many higher education institutions have deviated from their core mission of education and skills development, instead becoming platforms for indoctrination and a “woke” worldview.
