Student Non-Discrimination Act

The Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA), or H.R. 4530, is a bill introduced in the United States Congress with the stated purpose of "end[ing] discrimination based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity in public schools."[1] It seems designed merely to protect the homosexual minority from "harassment", but its definition of harassment is "murky", say critics.[2]
The bill is supported by the ACLU, the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign, and GLSEN.
Neal McCluskey of the Cato Institute said, "The definition of harassment could be broadly interpreted to censure anybody who expressed a totally legitimate opinion about homosexual behavior."[3]
