The author of the bill banning critical race theory in our public schools is facing tough questions by @jamestalarico for intending to concur with the Senate's decision to strip language requiring the history of white supremacy, slavery, etc. #txlege
"I didn't bring this bill, nor would I ever bring this bill as an educator or as a person of consciousness." @jamestalarico

#txlege
"When you look at the side-by-side of the bill, it reads like a how-to guide of historical white-washing."

The new version of the bill removes the writings of MLK, Jr., Fredrick Douglass, the history of Native Americans.

The author still intends to concur.

#txlege
"The new bill from the Senate removes all mention of people of color and women from the legislation." - @jamestalarico

#txlege
.@jamestalarico raises a point of order on the bill that the Senate amendments are not germane to the bill.

.@ErinForYall just raised a point of order on the Out-of-Bounds resolution for SB 7 (HR 2007) on the grounds that it was insufficiently detailed and materially misleading. #txlege
We should take this break to say @ErinForYall has been a rules master all session, fighting with procedural precision at every turn to stop bad policy. Thanks for all your work, Rep.! #txlege
