HF 3922, similar to the “Academic Bill of Restrictions” is defeated in the House of Representatives.

HF 3922 is modeled after the "Academic Bill of Rights"—really more a bill of restrictions, is a misleading, politically motivated attempt to restrict academic freedom and free speech. David Horowitz and his followers claim that conservative professors are discriminated against in the hiring process and that liberal professors use their classrooms to indoctrinate students, neither of which is true and Horowitz knows it. He is using this claim to advance a policy, the academic bill of restrictions, which would force professors to favor academic balance and sensitivity over rigorous scholarship, thereby undermining academic freedom and free speech.
