House Republican Carl Tepper of Texas introduced a bill prohibiting diversity, equity, and inclusion in order to “foster a diversity of viewpoints.” The bill prohibits “the funding, promotion, sponsorship, or support of” any means of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The text embraces the traditional, historical idea of equality, prohibiting “endorsement or dissuasion of, or interference with, any lifestyle, race, sex, religion, or culture.”
From The Blaze:
"A person may bring an action for injunctive relief against an institution of higher education to compel the institution to comply with this section. If the person prevails in the action, the court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs to the person," the bill reads. "The institution shall pay the fees and costs from the budget of the office of the chief executive officer of the institution or the institution ’s system, as applicable," it concludes.
