"The governor acknowledged that it is highly unlikely he would endorse a similar initiative for more progressive, left-leaning causes..."

"... but added that 'it would not be illegal' for them to exist in public schools. Abbott signed Senate Bill 12 earlier this year, a sweeping state law that banned student clubs with an LGBTQ+ focus...."

From "Texas launches plan to open Turning Point USA chapters in every high school/Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk" (Texas Tribune).

Naturally: "Petitions calling for the removal of the school chapters have also emerged, with some students and parents criticizing the national organization for what they describe as 'racist, homophobic, and sexist hate speech on college campuses across America.' The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that tracks extremism, describes Turning Point as an organization with a strategy of sowing fear 'that white Christian supremacy is under attack by nefarious actors, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and civil rights activists.'"

Painfully: "Disclosure: Southern Poverty Law Center has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization... Financial supporters play no role in the Tribune’s journalism...."

How dishonest is "it would not be illegal" given Senate Bill 12?

SPLC a civil rights group...



Hahahahaha!

Kind of hard to call out dishonesty in a post that suggests SPLC is a civil rights group and the Texas Tribune is non-partisan. Maybe if we all pushed for a smaller government, this wouldn’t be a problem. I’m not going to die on the hill thinking SPLC or Texas Tribune want smaller government.

There has always been a gay club in school, called the drama club.

The government has been promoting degeneracy on behalf of Feminism for decades.

Perhaps the government should stop promoting degeneracy.

It would have been nice to have it promote nothing but leftists and Karens can't have that. If they can't henpeck men who make their coddled lives possible they will have nothing to do.

I believe that there are "progressive, left-leaning causes" beyond the LGBT+ ones.

which SURE SOUNDS Like something someone OWNED AND OPERATED by the Southern Poverty Law Center would say.

Special Peculiar Liberal Corporation

This is about separation of cult (e.g. progressive sects) and state. This is not about the transgender spectrum (e g. homosexual orientation), but about the transsocial spectrum including Diversity (e.g. racism, sexism, ageism, feminism), simulant conversion/corruption therapy, homosexual grooming, etc.

Texas tribune is the worst account for anything

Albinophobia? Abort the Rainbow symbol in human context, sequester the colored/divisive/exclusive rhetoric. Save the lions, lionesses, and their unPlanned cubs in gay pride parades.

It's hard to believe that the SPLC is still pointed to as your standard for All that is Good and Pure in the year of 2025. They've got a hideous track record of muckraking.

Texas, under Abbott, seems to be flailing around in all directions. Meanwhile, it's the number one home for the Muslim Brotherhood in America. After Dearborn, MI, that is. But, let's worry about the Gay community.

Conservative: pro-Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Liberal: divergent.

Progressive: monotonic.

Gay is a joyful state of mind.

Pride is a parade of lions.

The transgender spectrum has been divided by the politically congruent ("=") into exclusive blocs under the Diversity umbrella, with their own banners and rhetoric targeting captive audiences, particularly children in schools, scouts, churches, etc.
