(CNN)For eight years, a school district in Texas has celebrated its LGBTQIA+ students, staff and families through a Pride Week. But this year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the activities are breaking state law.
In a Tuesday letter to the Austin Independent School District's superintendent, Paxton, a Republican, wrote, "The Texas Legislature has made it clear that when it comes to sex education, parents -- not school districts -- are in charge."
Pride Week is an opportunity for schools to show students and their families that they are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all, according to the district. During the week, schools are given a guide of suggested activities to foster that support.
They see anything that honors diversity as the practice of an alternative religion.
Fucking troglodytes! 50 years of progress on treating people equally is going down into the cesspool that is Texas, Florida and most other Red States.
