Lawsuit Challenges U. of Minnesota's Compelled-Pronoun Speech Policy
If this is your mountain
- If you have a student at the University of Minnesota, ask them to review the current pronoun and Bias Response policies before the semester begins.
- Document any bias-complaint referral or disciplinary notice related to speech about sex, gender, or religious expression, including dates and exact wording used.
- Follow the Dec. 14 hearing outcome to understand how the court balances compelled speech claims against university nondiscrimination policy.
- Contact campus ministry or legal-aid organizations in advance if a student anticipates disciplinary exposure for expressing biblical views on sex and gender.
