A. Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution of Louisiana guarantees that each person, including a college or university student, has the right to "individual dignity" and further provides that protections are guaranteed against discrimination based upon the student's "political ideas or affiliations". B. A public postsecondary education management board shall make reasonable efforts to protect students from discrimination on the basis of political ideas, affiliations, or ideology. C. No professor or instructor who teaches a class to students at an institution of higher education shall impose the professor's or instructor's political views onto students and, therefore, shall be prohibited from doing any of the following: (1) Requiring a student to attend a political protest or engage in any other political activity outside of the classroom that aligns with the political views of the professor or instructor. (2) Requiring a student to participate in a certain political activity outside of the classroom as a condition of obtaining the letter grade to which the student would otherwise be entitled based upon the student's actual academic performance in the class.
