This is becoming a trend in red states. People have finally caught on to this racket.
The College Fix reports:
‘DEI must die’: Nebraska bill would ban university diversity pledges“DEI must die,” according to Nebraska State Senator Dave Murman.The Glenvil Republican (pictured) is the lead sponsor of Legislative Bill 1330, which would prohibit public colleges and universities from requiring employees to participate in “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs or sign contracts requiring support for it. It also would ban spending tax dollars on DEI programs.DEI “naturally creates a culture of divisiveness” and in order “to create a more united culture, DEI must die,” Murman told The College Fix via email.He said the concept of giving “preferential treatment to certain people based on the color of their skin” also goes against his morality “as a follower of Christ.”“DEI tells us if you are this race, gender, or sexuality, you are either an oppressor or oppressed,” Murman said.His bill is similar to legislation that already is being implemented in Texas and Florida, and other states like Kentucky and Alabama are considering.University of Nebraska spokeswoman Melissa Lee told The Fix last week the university is “opposed to LB1330 because we are concerned about how it impacts the Board of Regents’ constitutional authority to govern the university.”“We want every student to have the opportunity to come to the University of Nebraska, be successful and start their dreams right here in Nebraska,” Lee said.Although Republicans hold the majority in the unicameral state legislature, Murman told The Fix his bill does face challenges.“We have to remember that the establishment in higher education lobbies so hard so we should remember that this is an uphill battle,” he said.
