But this looks like overreach.

There are no white people threatened by these clubs.



Discrimination is illegal.

Discrimination is illegal. That is what the state is prohibiting.


Ok I get that interpretation. So are fraternities school sponsored?

To be clear. Black engineers are free to form their own club. But if it is state sponsored in any way, they cannot block people from other races from being members.

If they want to form a club on their own, they are 100% free to do that.

And this is why minority groups are allowed to crap on whites, because people have had this mentality. Why companies were/are able to put policies in place to deny whites entry. This DEI stuff isn't new, and brewing in parts of this nation without combating it.

As an example, the Adam Carrolla story where he said that when he was 18 he applied to be a Fireman. He was told as a white man he would be waitlisted for minority applications. 7 or yrs later he gets the call to come in to start the process. Sitting next to a female in the class/waiting room, and he asked her when she first applied. And her response was like 2 days prior. This happened in CA 40+ yrs ago, because the "no white people are threatened" mentality.

Never joined one, but at Alabama their houses are built on university owned land. And the same rules should apply. No discrimination on the basis of race.

Obama plant doing work. Imagine if an Obama disciple has been able to climb to the very top of a very large traditionally conservative university, think of how deep his crew runs in moderate and already liberal organizations.

He became the commandant of cadets of the United States Air Force Academy on June 18, 1999.[11] He was appointed by President Barack Obama in May 2012, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee in July 2012 and was confirmed shortly thereafter by the United States Senate.

Ok. To be clear. The result is eliminating clubs.
Good. They perpetuate stereotypes and are exclusionary.

If Tate gives Landry an opening I wouldn't be surprised to see the same response


If it can guarantee Landry gets face time on Fox News and Tucker Carlson, you damn well believe he’ll react the same as Abbott. He’ll try to one up him.

ERCOT is governed by a board of directors and subject to oversight by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and the Texas Legislature.

We got a freeze coming next week…

Landry will not be doing the same to woke Tate


he would love to, but Tate hasnt been woke as president, quite opposite actually which has been very refreshing after what we thought we would be getting.
