Gov. Greg Abbott ordered schools in the state to ignore new rules from the Biden administration.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ® announced that he has sued the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) over new Title IX guidelines that make discrimination against LGBTQ+ students in education illegal.
“Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women in furtherance of his radical obsession with gender ideology,” Paxton said in a statement. “This attempt to subvert federal law is plainly illegal, undemocratic, and divorced from reality. Texas will always take the lead to oppose Biden’s extremist, destructive policies that put women at risk.”
Earlier this month, the DOE unveiled new Title IX rules to address the needs of LGBTQ+ students. The rules interpret Title IX, which bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education, as a legal protection against anti-LGBTQ+ school policies. The idea is that it’s impossible to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity without taking sex into account, a legal argument that the Supreme Court has already used in its 2020 Bostock v. Clayton Co. ruling with respect to job discrimination.

But in reality, kids that grow up in abusive atmospheres also go on to abuse others. It’s a vicious cycle.
They represent the values of the people who vote for them. Keep that in mind.
And actually, if you read the bolded part, it’s very interesting what they are suing on and I think it could set a good precedent if they get thrown out, but I’m worried that they won’t
Not only that but Paxton was voted in again after being known to be a scammer. He still has pending cases with the FBI. Yet Republicans in Texas do not give a shit.
FFS Texas stop it.
