Federal Judge Weighs Whether Alabama’s Anti-DEI Law Threatens First Amendment

  • A preliminary hearing challenging Alabama's Senate Bill 129 restricting DEI programs was held Wednesday in Birmingham's Hugo L. Black U.S. Courthouse.
  • The lawsuit alleges SB 129 violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments, with Republican lawmakers proposing the law to limit public funding for DEI on campuses.
  • Testimonies revealed the law prompted funding cuts to DEI groups, curriculum changes, and concerns over threats to academic freedom, including a professor removing materials to comply.
  • Patton characterized a discussion with Rep. Danny Garrett as a budgetary threat, indicating that the complaint likely had influential support, and noted that Garrett mentioned Rep. DuBose's determination to pursue the matter persistently.
  • The case's outcome will determine whether SB 129 unconstitutionally restricts classroom speech and could influence how DEI is addressed in Alabama education going forward.
