The Texas Legislative Black Caucus is calling out the double standard at Texas Tech, where DEI initiatives are banned, but MAGA displays are permitted. It's time for fair, consistent policies that uphold genuine neutrality in Texas education.

Governor Abbott's pardon of Daniel Perry, who was convicted of murdering protester Garrett Foster, is a shocking miscarriage of justice. The Texas Legislative Black Caucus is calling out the hypocrisy and demanding accountability. Stand with us against this egregious decision.
