TX Gov Signs Ban On Diversity Efforts At State Colleges

[Horizon Flame]

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit diversity, equity and inclusion offices in Texas public colleges and universities starting in 2024.

 

Both chambers of the Texas Legislature approved the final version in May of Senate Bill 17, which would ban public higher education institutions from maintaining or establishing DEI offices. It also prohibits higher education institutions from requiring anyone to provide DEI statements or participate in DEI training.

I'm sorry, but America is straight up a joke at this point. The f*ck is going on over there?

Meanwhile Texas edcuation is near the bottom compared to the rest of the US and will continue to be as long as it's being run by tyrants

Abbott is disgusting 

[HeavyMetalAura]

This **** legit gives me panic attacks… like America is a stone’s throw away from becoming run by Nazis at this point. How the **** can anyone justify ending DEI efforts. Evil.

******* Texas. Abbott is a damn joke and quite frankly this and pretty much everything else he’s done need to be overturned. That whole state needs an overhaul.

Never said that. I live in NYC so I am well aware of liberal America. But look at the trends… what is becoming normal, accepted, etc. It’s not looking good.

I don't know why anyone would want to live in Texas or Florida these days

There's a political theory that red states are trying to get as many people to move into them as possible to inflate their number of congressional districts within the House based on the census.

I live in a third world country and not even my country is that bad. Some USA states turning into pure Decay and Doom.  Literally the Oblongs in real life

Wait... lemme feed into that and say that's why they cancelled abortions 

[Bloo]

This is why justifying any amount of anti-woke rhetoric is dangerous. Bigotry and intolerance are evil and there is no compromise with them.
