Oklahoma lawmakers have approved new legislation designed to protect free speech on college campuses across the state. The measure prohibits public colleges and universities from engaging in discrimination against student groups based on their beliefs or viewpoints.
The new law was crafted as a response to situations where Christian and conservative campus organizations faced bans or limitations due to their positions on issues including abortion and LGBT matters. Under the legislation, all college students will be required to complete training focused on free speech principles at no cost.
