#BanTheBible bills are Back! |
Despite their 100% failure to pass last session and overwhelming opposition from Texas citizens year after year, Democratic state legislators brought back #BantheBible bills again in the 89th Legislature!
Hiding under the disguise of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” these harmful bills create special privileges for some and ban the free expression of Biblical beliefs, especially with regard to marriage and sexuality. Those who do not comply or agree with radical LGBT gender ideology could face fines, possible jail time, or other punishment by the government.
A little over a month into the 2025 legislative session and already a flood of aggressive #BanTheBible bills have surfaced, courtesy of many familiar faces (and some new ones) in the Texas House and Senate. A number of bills are focused on undoing hard-fought victories from last session to protect Children from gender modification procedures such as Senate Bill 14 from the 88th Legislature.
The Texas Values policy team closely monitors each measure as it is filed and analyzes for harmful provisions. Read some of the worst #BantheBible bills so far, and see who authored them, on our webpage. |

Texas AG Grills Hutto ISD, Claiming it Violated State Law on Men in Women's Sports
|
|
|
A Central Texas school district is under the microscope after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said a Hutto ISD employee was trying to bypass state law. That law passed in 2021, requires public school students to compete in sports based on their sex at
birth. Now Paxton claims a video posted online showed a Hutto ISD employee advising a parent about how there were “workarounds” that would allow a student to change the sex
on their birth certificate to be able to participate in girls’ sports.
Meanwhile, Mary Elizabeth Castle, the Director of Government Relations for Texas Values, echoed Paxton’s statement. “We want to make sure there’s no incident where a girl finds her victory taken away from her because of confusion about what the state law is,” Castle said. In addition to Hutto, Paxton’s office is also investigating Irving, Dallas, and Richardson ISDs |
