Texas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.
Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.

Reminder that while the Texas Revolution may have been a diverse coalition of of Mexicans, Irishmen, and Native Americans the people in charge today are the descendants (both literally or ideologically) of the white settlers who were angry Mexico outlawed slavery.
thats why they had the southern baptist, and they still “segregate” race in the south, additionally golf clubs/country clubs, are notorious for that same thing too. one of my english prof in CC college, said he dated a girl who was part of this “high society” club and they had “servents” from Africa serving the country club members, whom were all very pale skin people.
