“Biden is trying to force sexual predators into elementary girls’ bathrooms and let woke D.C. bureaucrats take over Texas schools,” Harrison told the. “Texas is a sovereign state. We should act like it, and stop bowing down to Washington’s tyrannical edicts. The legislature can protect Texas women, students, and teachers by telling the federal government to keep its damn money and the strings attached to it.
The committee, of which Harrison is a member, would need to look into every aspect of how Texas receives federal education money, the regulatory framework that comes with the money, the cost of compliance, and how Texas could fund its own education system without federal intervention.
“The only reason Texas schools are subject to these dangerous requirements is because the State of Texas voluntarily accepts federal education funding,” Harrison wrote in the letter. “Texas must act like a sovereign state, stop prostrating ourselves at the altar of the almighty federal government, and combat the move to a post-constitutional America.”
