In this The College Fix article, a federal judge ruled that a California community college cannot force a professor to embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) practices into his classroom instruction.
- A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of California DEIA teaching requirements against Bakersfield College history professor Daymon Johnson.
- Johnson argued that the state’s DEIA mandates compelled speech and violated his First Amendment rights by forcing him to promote specific ideological viewpoints.
- The court found that the regulations likely infringe on constitutional protections by requiring conformity to government-approved beliefs in classroom instruction.
- The ruling prevents the college from disciplining or firing Johnson based on his refusal to incorporate mandated DEIA practices into his curriculum.
- Judge Kirk Sherriff emphasized that the First Amendment prohibits the government from compelling ideological speech, even in public institutions.
- However, the court allowed that Johnson may still be required to complete DEI training if he chooses to participate on certain faculty committees.
- Because the decision is a preliminary injunction, the legal battle is ongoing and could proceed to a full trial.
