Texas Measure Would Force Schools to Promote Heterosexual Lifestyle

HeadlineApr 06, 2011

The Texas State House has approved a measure that would require public post-secondary schools with LGBT resource centers to spend an equal amount of money to promote heterosexual activity. The proposal would force schools to ensure taxpayer money spent on LGBT-center initiatives would be equal to education on “family and traditional values.” The measure now goes to the Texas State Senate. Another amendment that would have required school districts to report incidents of bullying and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity was defeated in the same session.
