Texas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.
Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.
People in Texas go to college? You’d assume otherwise due to their abundance of grunting mammalians they call residents.
Texas has one or two schools that are generally considered to be pretty good. Maybe people just move away after they graduate? I’ve thought about getting a masters degree from a school in Austin but it’s for software and would be online only.
Also, fuck Texas.
unfortunately they flee to cali and compete for certain grad programs, which pushes out the locals, because out of the state people pay alot more.
Having lived here all my life, I don’t see how. It’s always been out of reach for my family and I.
