Add a compelled-speech prohibition to federal civil rights laws

What has happened

1. Feb 14, 2025 Not started

   Nothing has been added to any federal civil rights law. The administration is enforcing the existing ones vigorously — the Office for Civil Rights' Dear Colleague Letter names compelled “diversity statements” and loyalty tests as part of the DEI regime — but it treats ending race preferences as “an important first step” toward free inquiry rather than as a prohibition on compelled speech, and guidance cannot amend a statute in any event. No bill in the 119th Congress would write a compelled-speech prohibition into Title VI, Title IX or any other civil rights act. This is the element #859 also lacks; #859 rates `partial` because its other element was delivered by rule, and this ask has no other element.
