For eight years, a school district in Texas has celebrated its LGBTQIA+ students, staff and families through a Pride Week. But this year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the activities are breaking state law.
In a Tuesday letter to the Austin Independent School District's superintendent, Paxton, a Republican, wrote,"The Texas Legislature has made it clear that when it comes to sex education, parents -- not school districts -- are in charge."Pride Week is an opportunity for schools to show students and their families that they are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all, according to the district.
You’re breaking the law. Says the AG under indictment.
Choice and freedom as long as it’s Republican sponsored. Sounds about right.
Y'all remember when gay people and transgender people voted republican?
You shouldn’t be celebrating one specific group. Everyone treat each other respectfully and move on. Don’t understand why one group needs a pride week - celebrate all kids or none and get back to educating!
It’s time for Texas to be thrown back to Mexico. We don’t want them. They can have cesspool Florida too.

How sad that their civil rights have been denied
What Americans do the republicans like?
Government overreach for thee, none for me…
Great news !
They're not breaking any freaking laws and State's whatsoever laws. However, Republicans is breaking humanity and decency laws that you guys signing those bills. No one should had the power to strip of who the LGBT wanted to be regardless of their ages.
USA the kingdom of the depravity in the world. May God gives you leaders with good morality 🙏🏿
Gow can you 'celebrate' people's sexual preferences? That is disgusting and disturbing and honestly people need to stop this nonsense of telling or spreading about their sexuality. Its a disgrace for the human race!
School events with “voting” for a King and Queen are illegal…if we use Paxton’s broad interpretation of the law. It sexualizes 2 persons and promotes a sexual act - kissing, hand holding, dancing, and matrimonial like ceremony of crowning a King and Queen
I am a part of the Ukrainian soldiers that is fighting to defend our mighty nation Ukraine. Everywhere is devastated right now. People we're fighting to protect are starving and that needs attention too. You can help if you stand with Ukraine
Shouldn’t he be in jail?
Let KenPaxtonTX sue then. Pride Week is not sex ed. This could be appealed past the Texas courts to SCOTUS.
🤔 if we accept Paxton’s broad interpretation of the law…any and all relationships, dances, recitals, and art depicting relationships in schools are illegal - No school dances/recitals with boy+girl dances - Teens engaging in a relationship - Artwork depicting a mom+dad
Sounds so very Russian/Putin. Congrats on being even more like communists than the people you apparently fear and despise (DEMS).
Someone please tell me how the hell pride week is sex education?!?! When did showing support and giving families and LGBTQIA+ students s safe place sex fucking education?!?! That’s like saying Spirit Week is against the law. Homophobia at its finest.
America is weird
When is this generation thinking going to be over?! Acceptance is key!!
So this is a single school district? Why does it do this when others don't? It would seem that we have a 'climate scientists agree' situation here. Why is this administration refusing to accept the conclusions reached by 99+% of other districts? It seems settled policy.
Good. This should not be taught to children.
😕
Fuck you and fuck off, KenPaxtonTX! Learn the difference between a celebration and sex education, you hateful bigot. You don’t know the trouble Republicans like yourself are creating for our LGBTQIA+ members. Leave the districts alone to make the decisions for events.
Denazify Texas.
Conservative by definition is anti-american because 'conservative' means free as long as you do things MY WAY. Liberal is the equivalent of freedom so never allow 'liberal' to be accepted as a derogatory term. America = freedom, don't let conservatives ruin it with hate.
Good for Texas 👏👏👏
Good. What a disgusting event. Absolutely beyond belief something this unnatural gets promoted.
