Legal Test for DEI Coercion

Set a reproducible court‑level test to decide when workplace diversity training crosses from permissible professional conduct into unconstitutional compelled ideology: (1) evidence training ties to pay/penalty, (2) presence of scripted required answers or forced speech acts, and (3) predictable chilling or compulsion of dissent. The test would be applied to public‑sector employers first (school districts, agencies) because of heightened constitutional constraints. — A standardized legal yardstick would quickly resolve a growing string of First Amendment challenges to DEI programs, shaping employer practice, contract drafting, and public‑sector training nationwide.
