A look at new Texas laws taking effect January 1st and how they impact you

TEXAS — Starting January 1, 2024, there will be 30 new state laws taking effect.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Programs
The State of Texas will no longer allow its publicly funded colleges and universities to have Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion or DEI offices. That means they have to be disbanded and employees will have to be reassigned, and there can't be any contractors performing those duties instead. The schools are prohibited from requiring DEI training and ideological oaths. Administrators are also required to testify before state legislative committees that they are complying with the law.

Only way you’re going to stamp that nonsense out.

It’s not going to go away on its own.

They should be FIRED. You think they’re going to stop their life’s crusade just because they were reassigned to a new department.

We have to make sure these commissars trumping adherence to ideology over merit get out of our professional schools as well.

Medical and law school curricula and admissions are steeped in this leftist ideology.

Not a week goes by where I don’t have a conversation with one of my partners about the quality of doctors we are training who will one day take care of us.

The new Louisiana governor should work up the same bill.

I hope there is an avenue to report teachers/admins that cross the line. Kind of sucks to have to do this but the left started it and we all know they aren't going down easily. Hope there are plenty of ways to catches what they come up in their dei centers.

I also hope this covers the public lower schools too so the indocrination is fully stopped early.
