Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick presides over the State Senate on Jan. 13, 2021, at the State Capitol, in Austin, Texas. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants Texas to replicate Florida’s controversial law that prohibits schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to students from kindergarten through the third grade.
Patrick’s promise to mimic the Florida law also targeted Disney, which has publicly opposed the legislation and asked for its repeal. The lieutenant governor is calling on Texans to boycott Disney “until they change their corporate philosophy.” Earlier Monday, Patrick released interim charges for the state Senate, asking lawmakers to study various subjects over the next several months before session begins. He’d included “parent empowerment” in that list, asking the education committee to “make recommendations to enable parents to exert a greater influence on their child’s learning environment.”
The lieutenant governor’s commitment to the “Don’t Say Gay” law is Texas Republicans’ latest move to more tightly regulate what is taught in public schools. Patrick’s charges also included a request to review school library books, after GOP lawmakers asked districts to remove “inappropriate” material covering sexuality and racism.
