Texas’ attorney general Ken Paxton, who called trans people “sexual propagandists”, has been asked to review the trans policies of schools across the state.
Hard-line Republican Paxton was asked by conservative lawmakers to review the Texas Association of School Boards’ (TASB) inclusive guidance on trans students after claims that it would somehow “endanger children”.
The Texas Freedom Caucus – a highly conservative legal group that aims to “amplify the voices of liberty-minded, conservative Texans” – wrote to Paxton on 17 January urging him to make an “immediate review of this matter”.
The school board’s guidelines state that students have a right to identify as a gender they were not assigned to at birth, and that school officials must take relevant actions to help protect and facilitate that right.
