The House is now debating whether to agree to Senate changes to critical race theory ban bill.

@jamestalarico objects to removal of language regarding teaching of wrongs of KKK. #txlege #HB3979

@jamestalarico Rep. @jamestalarico asks if any bill that included, then removes, the teaching of wrongs of white supremacy is a racist bill.

@Toth_4_Texas is silent.

@jasminefor100, D-Dallas, whoops.

#txlege #HB3979

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 Rep. @Toth_4_Texas said he would support any bill that teaches it's wrong to judge someone by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.

So @jamestalarico asks why he then supports Senate version of bill, which removed teaching of wrongs of KKK. #txlege

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 "It still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he is not even an American. Is that because he is a white man?" @jamestalarico says, adding CRT bill removes all mention of women and people of color.

@Toth_4_Texas says list is not meant to be exhaustive. #txlege

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 Rep @jamestalarico raises point of order on anti-critical race theory bill, saying Senate amendments are not germane to bill and that bill contains more than one subject.

If his POO is ok now, it could mean the death of this bill. #txlege

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 @EmilyJDonaldson @TaliRichman @corbettsmithDMN Woah.

Rep. @jamestalarico's 11th-hour point of order on the anti-critical race theory was upheld.

Bill is headed back to Senate. Unsure what happens to it now. #txlege

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 @EmilyJDonaldson @TaliRichman @corbettsmithDMN I just spoke with Rep. @jamestalarico, who told me it's his understanding that the anti-critical race theory bill is now "effectively dead."

"There's not enough time" for it to pass and become law this session, he said. #txlege

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 @EmilyJDonaldson @TaliRichman @corbettsmithDMN Sitting next to @JohnnieMo is highly distracting but highly entertaining.

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 @EmilyJDonaldson @TaliRichman @corbettsmithDMN @JohnnieMo @madlinbmek Rep. @JeffCasonTexas is now criticizing Senate for stripping amendment that would have subsidized internet providers that put porn filters (which could be opted out of by adults) on its services.

@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 @EmilyJDonaldson @TaliRichman @corbettsmithDMN @JohnnieMo @madlinbmek @JeffCasonTexas Here is the porn blocking amendment that was added to this broadband bill being debated in the House now.

The Senate stripped this change. @JeffCasonTexas wants the House to vote this bill down due to this change.
