Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and the Mountain States Legal Foundation recently secured a victory for a conservative group, Young America’s Foundation, a student organization that was denied student-organization status by University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The school originally denied the group’s designation because the student organization refused to sign onto a “DEI” inclusivity statement that opposed the organization’s values and violated their First Amendment Rights. The school backed down after the legal groups threatened further action.

UW-La Crosse has found itself in lots of hot water of late—from the firing of the chancellor for his involvement in porn to this unfortunate incident with Young America’s Foundation. These should be a wake-up call for the school, the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents, and for any parents thinking about this school for their college-bound teens.
