The Epoch Times Interviews Texas Values Director of Government Relations, Mary Elizabeth Castle, on the recent Austin City Council Vote! |
Last week, the Austin City Council voted to pass a resolution regarding individuals seeking sex transition surgery, which is in direct violation of state law that prohibits such acts on minors.
In a 9–1 vote, the ACC passed the resolution directing city resources away from enforcement of state law, SB 14, which prohibits “gender transitioning or gender reassignment procedure or treatment” for minors under the age of 18.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is also quoted in the article saying; “If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance, Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have spoken, and the Austin City Council must listen.”

Texas Values Report with Special Guest, Senator Mayes Middleton! |
Senator Mayes Middleton has passed legislation on a variety of issues, most notably authoring SB15, the Save Women’s Sports Law, that was passed this legislative session protecting college women from being forced to compete against men. "One of the rules in Title IX says that a school district can be held criminally accountable for using the wrong pronouns for a child." "Nobody wants a man going into the bathroom with their elementary-aged daughter and that could happen with this Title IX re-write."
"We’re a 'parental rights' state…the federal government is trying to tell us what to do against the wishes of Texas parents." ~ Senator Mayes Middleton
His segment is available to view on our YouTube Channel. It is also available to view on our Facebook page.
