This bill is a threat to free speech in schools by silencing critical discussions such as on Palestinian rights. Call your representative now!
“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am your constituent. I urge you to vote NO on HB 2867. This bill is a threat free speech. I urge you to stand up for our constitutional rights.”
HB 2867 would:
- Discriminate based on viewpoint, favoring speech supportive of Israel while punishing speech critical of it.
- Put students and educators at risk of punishment for expressing views that differ from official government positions.
- Chill open discussion in academic settings, making it harder for students to talk about matters of public concern.
Public schools already have rules in place that prohibit harassment, threats, and discrimination without infringing on free speech. This bill is unnecessary, and worse, it’s dangerous to the open exchange of ideas that education depends on.
Please protect students’ and educators constitutional rights and vote NO on HB 2867.
