House Bill H-837

House Bill H-837

House Bill H-837, AKA The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, is a proposed bill that, if passed, would allow students to establish lawsuits against their professors and the university if they grow intolerant of their beliefs. This bill has been seen by many as an attempt to single out evolution in classrooms. This law would also require them to teach beliefs that may contradict their own personal views. Conversely, the lack of this law may allow professors to retaliate via grading against students who do not hold the same political views.

An academic Bill of Rights is law in Florida.
