An idea for an amendment

I am thinking of proposing this amendment to the Cal Libertarians Constitution.
What do you all think? (I'm not sure about the "discrimination" part, given
that we are seeking recognition by a government body which should itself be
forbidden to discriminate. I'm sure about the hazing part.)
Article III, section 3, is amended by the addition of the following paragraph:
As libertarians, we deplore coersion and discrimination. We also deplore
efforts by government bodies to dictate the internal affairs of voluntary
organizations by coercively forbidding them to haze or to discriminate
irrationally. Where hazing is voluntary, we declare that as a consensual
activity it should not be prohibited by governments; where involuntary, it is
superfluous to note that it should be forbidden.
