It’s difficult to convey my concern regarding certain realities I wish were untrue. While some may dismiss it as hyperbole, a comprehensive analysis of the GOP’s words and actions over the past few years provide undeniable evidence of the significant impact Republicans are currently having and the troubling positions they are espousing. I encourage you to look beyond my words and objectively asses the GOP’s actions for a clearer understanding.

When the Texas Legislature debated the DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) ban, Republicans made it clear it was about hiring more white faculty and fewer Black and brown professors. And the same day that SCOTUS overturned affirmative action, Representative Carl Tepper filed a bill to limit Black and brown college admissions.

While it appeared that the GOP’s actions aimed to push more whiteness into Texas colleges and universities, recent developments by Texas oligarchs prove what we all feared and show Republicans’ willingness to go so much further.
