Critics slam Texas DEI ban at Senate hearing

The Texas Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education held a hearing to review the implementation of SB-17, which banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in public universities, resulting in the closure of 21 DEI offices, the elimination of 311 jobs, and the cancellation of 681 contracts, programs, and trainings across the UT System, while critics argue that the bill is an attack on minorities and harms universities.

Same with movies, they destroyed so many and will ruins more if they continue at this pace.
