House Republicans have a new bill that is focused on barring the use of 'political tests' on college campuses for faculty and students, which they say is stifling to free speech.
The legislation led by GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York, Rep. Fred Keller, R-Pa., and Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., is necessary to foster the healthy competition of ideas and shut down "intolerant political monoculture," they tell Fox News Digital.
"I will always stand up for freedom of speech and freedom of thought on college campuses," Stefanik told Fox News Digital."Instead of encouraging diversity of ideas, some institutions of higher education are shamefully acting as gatekeepers to ensure their faculty, staff, and students all ascribe to Far Left woke ideology."
The congresswoman noted that"this intolerant political monoculture" has reached into institutions across the country, including in New York's SUNY system. Keller warned that the U.S. is seeing"an alarming number of universities" throw away a commitment to free speech in order to"advance curated partisan ideologies."
