A lot of it is self-executing.  We're going to lose a lot of good academics over this shit.

    I think that it’s now safe to say that we Texans now live in a failed state.  30 years of GOP rule, setting our own standard, living the “Texas Dream,” which they’ve bragged about relentlessly…and let

    My daughters and I talk about this. I’ve always been puzzled about where the idea of on-campus indoctrination comes from. I don’t think humanities and liberal arts faculty are any more or less toleran

Maybe they should ignore this, bring in James Talarico to speak, and let him get ushered off campus or arrested. Make a spectacle of it.

Or make all guest probationary members.

If this was to be legally upheld, would that not mean that all death threats would fall under the same protection?  

No. Only when the person making the threat is a Fox News watcher and the target is a “leftist.” See also the fact that none of these folks cared about “violent political rhetoric!” When it was getting dozens of Hispanic, black, and Jewish people killed. But one white dude gets shot, and it was POSSIBLE that it was politically motivated…and we MUST take all action including unconstitutional action to stop all violent rhetoric (but you know, only leftist stuff).

Like I was saying about Wesley Hunt- he’s going to get in, he will almost certainly be the nominee, and he’s even worse than Paxton because he doesn’t have Paxton’s baggage.

Wait...our leadership has been intent on throwing a teacher -- who was desperately trying to save lives and actually ended up in harm's way -- under the bus.....to try to distract from the failings of both the HEROES of law enforcement AND state and local leadership?  I for one am shocked.

And remember what your governor says: "it could have been worse."  I guess what he left unsaid was "....we could have deflected blame onto a teacher who didn't do anything wrong.  Wait....we did that.  Nevermind."

Can she sue for defamation? 

Limitations has expired, so no.  Had she sued within limitations, an oldlaw court would have ordered disclosure of that at least to her, if not publicly.

DPS dickface would have qualified immunity, at least initially.

 

This is one of my least favorite threads to see bumped. Every time it’s just “god dammit, what fucked up shit did they do now?”

Hey @Enchubben which white person's seat did he steal from a more deserving candidate at St. John's or West Point?

Or is that just for Black people on the left?

Nice of the district to throw all the complaints to principals.

it is amazing to me how quickly trump can get the supreme court to invoke the supreme court for his petty bullshit about ftc committee members on speed dial but when blatantly obvious violations of the fucking constitution of the united states is codified in a few of its states' laws, it sure is slow to fucking act.

I like the idea of putting up a blank poster next to them, with large spaces numbered 1-10.  Attach a pen, so you can have a discussion about leadership.  "Class, who can name prominent leaders -- community, political, social -- who have violated any of these commandments?  What's that?  You want me to put down RFK Jr. and Ken Paxton next to #6, thou shalt not commit adultery?  Ok then.  What's that?  Greg Abbott and Donald Trump next to "don't bear false witness?  What's that...Trump again for not keeping the sabbath holy because he golfs on Sundays?  Alright kids, good stuff.  Y'all all get participation points."

How much would it cost to make some custom 10 commandments urine cakes like this for school donation?  Might as well make the bathrooms smell a little better.

Damn, Tech:

Texas Tech University System Chancellor Tedd Mitchell restricted the discussion of transgender and nonbinary identities during classroom instruction across the system’s five universities, according to a letter he issued late Thursday.

The letter makes Tech the state’s first university system to issue such limits. Mitchell didn’t explicitly detail what can and cannot be acknowledged in academic discussions or curriculum. He instructed university presidents to ensure faculty follow a presidential executive order recognizing only male and female sexes, Gov. Greg Abbott’s letter directing state agencies to “reject woke gender ideologies” and a new state law that requires a strict binary definition of gender for the collection of vital statistics.

Mitchell’s guidance comes after Angelo State University, one of the system’s campuses, instructed faculty not to discuss transgender identities in the classroom.

 

“While recognizing the First Amendment rights of employees in their personal capacity, faculty must comply with these laws in the instruction of students, within the course and scope of their employment,” Chancellor Tedd Mitchell wrote in a memo Friday.

The free speech on campus guys must really be angry!

Nothing, really.  At least for a number of years.

Law schools will still be approved or accredited by the ABA and will probably continue to tout that for the rationals.

What this is, I believe is the Rules Governing Admission to The Bar of Texas.  Right now, most Texas bar sites related to this are blocked by Chrome as dangerous.  Haha.

It goes on to say that graduates of an "approved" law school are entitled to take the bar.    Which means the Texas Supreme Court is going to get busy for a minute approving and disapproving law schools.

Where it gets funky is when they approve Liberty law school and disapprove Harvard and Yale.

He said the student was a “biracial Latina,” whose father had “retreated” to Argentina a decade ago, leaving her mother to raise the student and her brother by herself. The student, he said, had been accepted but missed the enrollment deadline earlier that month. She did not have a computer, and did not know to look for the acceptance letter online, Miller wrote.

The Texas Tribune confirmed the student is the daughter of one of Miller’s political associates, Lisa Pittman, an Austin lawyer who specializes in cannabis law and calls herself the “First Lady of Texas Cannabis Law” on social media and in news articles. Miller appointed Pittman to the agency’s Industrial Hemp Advisory Council in 2020, just after the Texas Legislature legalized growing and selling industrial hemp in 2019.

I have dealt with some "cannabis lawyers" on trademark issues, but not her specifically.

It goes about like you'd expect.
