Texas is about to ban talking on college campuses at night. Seriously. (www.houstonchronicle.com)

Texas lawmakers trying to muzzle campus protests have just passed one of the most ridiculous anti-speech laws in the country. If signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, Senate Bill 2972 would ban speech at night — from study groups to newspaper reporting — at public universities in the state.

Ironically, the bill builds on a previous law passed in 2019 meant to enshrine free speech on Texas campuses. But now, lawmakers want to crack down on college students’ pro-Palestinian protests so badly that they literally passed a prohibition on talking.

thats why they had the southern baptist, and they still "segregate" race in the south, additionally golf clubs/country clubs, are notorious for that same thing too. one of my english prof in CC college, said he dated a girl who was part of this "high society" club and they had "servents" from Africa serving the country club members, whom were all very pale skin people.
