Texas lawmakers pass controversial bills targeting LGBTQ+ community.
Texas has passed two 'anti-woke' bills, one banning minors from attending drag shows and the other banning diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at publicly funded colleges and universities. Both bills are expected to be signed into law by Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Critics have raised concerns about the broad wording of the drag show bill and the impact of the diversity ban on students from marginalized backgrounds. The bills are part of a national trend of legislation aimed at ending diversity and inclusion efforts in higher education.
