Email from Tarrant County Republican Party Plus winning on every front   Contribute Today towards Local Election Victory TCU's Pro-Abortion, Transgenderism, and Fornication Policies TCU's Board of Trustees will meet next week. After a year of reporting on the rampant leftism, DEI, and gender ideology plaguing the school, we are hopeful that they will do the right thing, course correct, and save TCU from ruining its legacy. Kids from all over the country come to TCU. We've spoken to hundreds of concerned parents, and a few trends emerge. First, they want their kids to get a quality education. Second, they want to send their kids to a red state to keep them from liberal indoctrination. Third, they want them to be in a Christian environment. We've talked about the first two problems at length and many parents - potential donors to the school - are enraged. But, with the Board of Trustees meeting looming, we wanted to call attention to this third point, the Christian element, and make our readers keenly aware of the school's policies contradicting the Christian values they want TCU to embody. We hope that TCU will live up to its name and that the Trustees will make it happen. After reading this, please call and let them know how you feel. TCU Supports Abortion Departments within TCU have official partnerships with abortion advocacy groups, with the school's logo displayed next to their partners. You can see one example HERE. We've already mentioned that the department in this example, the Women and Gender Studies (WGST) Department, has used its social media to promote the Abortion Finder tool, a website that assists women in getting an abortion. WGST even hosted a campus event with the abortion advocacy group Texas Equal Access Fund, the topic of which was the "evils" of crisis pregnancy clinics and how to fight against pro-life legislation. In February of this year, one campus group, "Advocates for Reproductive Equality," hosted an event called "Planned Parenthood 101." The event included a "Sex Ed Loteria" game and included a talk "about services offered by Planned Parenthood, and how to get involved with reproductive advocacy." The school's health clinic page tells students that the school will provide the abortifacient drug, Plan B, known for harming the women who take it, to both students above and under 18 years old, and will keep their parents from finding out. According to their website, prescriptions are available "for students ages 17 and younger, no prescription is necessary for women over age 18." TCU's English Department has documents still available on its website advertising student internships with Planned Parenthood (yes, the English Department). Professors can even hold leadership positions within abortion advocacy and abortion-providing organizations and remain in the school's good graces. Dr. Lynn Jackson is a WGST affiliate. In the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, she is the Director of Field Education and Assistant Dean for Strategic Initiatives. Her areas of focus include "reproductive justice and abortion." A look at her CV proves this to be an understatement. Here's an overview of her abortion-related roles: President, National Network of Abortion Funds Board of Directors Vice President, National Network of Abortion Funds Board of Directors Texas Equal Access Fund Board of Directors Member Vice President, Texas Equal Access Fund Board of Directors Member, Planned Parenthood Don't forget, as we've reported in the past, that the WGST Department has officially engaged in fundraising activities for their university partner, the Texas Equal Access Fund. TCU Supports Transgender Ideology TCU has made clear that they not only are supportive of transgenderism but will actively help students accomplish transitions. The Health Clinic's "LGBTQ Sexual Health" page ensures the LGBTQs that identifying information will not be included on their student account. It even recommends that they pay with a card or cash to avoid services or prescriptions showing up on their student account. Health Center and Counseling Center resources are clear that they will (anonymously) offer students contraceptive counseling as well as referrals for both "transgender care" and gender-affirming care. Brown-Lupton Health Center advertises the following "LGBTQ+ Resources" as available to students: gender marker changes, legal name change resources, and gender-affirming care." Again, the school is clear that every one of these services can be hidden from parents. They even provide an all-gender bathroom map for transgenders to locate bathrooms of their choice. Transgender students are even offered an exclusive resume and job search resource that counsels them on how to sue companies that question their "gender identity." Sexual Morality As a Christian school, you may hope that TCU promotes a Christian sexual ethic. Maybe your standards are lower than that, and you at the very least hope that they would avoid teaching sexual ethics that go directly against Christian teaching. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. TCU's campus recreation page includes a "sexual responsibility" page which notes that "College is a place where many students choose to explore their sexuality" and offers tips on how to do just that. The page encourages students to use protection "unless in a long-term, monogamous relationship with a partner who has been confirmed STD-free." Note that nothing about marriage is included. The school's website goes further, telling students that "everyone makes a personal decision about when they are ready to have sex; some relationships are casual and short-term while others are long-term." TCU goes further to say that "the possibilities are endless, so have fun with it!" You may remember our report from last week that WGST affiliate and Christian Ethics professor Santiago Pinon even invited a "sexologist" to advocate for non-monogamy and to discuss whether the man or the woman should pay for the abortifacient and dangerous drug, Plan B. Not only is TCU not promoting Christian morality here or even avoiding the subject altogether. Instead, they're fully committing to an anti-Christian morality. Texas Christian University will not only promote promiscuity, not only will they actively help students engage in it, but they will also hide it from the parents who largely sent their children to TCU specifically to get away from that environment. Call to Action Trustees and administrative officers for the school have expressed concerns over ending these various issues, claiming that it would threaten their accreditation. To start, this couldn't be further from the truth. State schools manage to retain accreditation despite legal prohibitions from the Texas government on many of these fronts. Let's grant them the premise that taking the required actions to right the school's path was impossible under the Biden Administration. Trump is our President now. Not only is TCU now safe to avoid punishment from the federal government for doing the right thing, but the Trump administration is now threatening to pull federal funds from universities that do not do the right thing. Trustees have a fiduciary duty to the school. Given the Trump Administration's recent actions, and the desires of many alumni, donors, and parents of prospective students, it would be in the financial interest of the school to address these problems. Now is the time. If you know any of the trustees (you can find a list of them HERE), please call them and politely tell them what's happening at their school. They're busy people, so it's entirely possible that they aren't aware of everything TCU is engaging in. Redistricting Update This week the Commissioners' Court met to begin the consideration of a redistricting process for the court districts. We want to say thanks to everyone who called their commissioners and showed up to the meeting to express support. These efforts were successful! We especially want to show thanks to County Judge O'Hare, as well as Commissioners Ramirez and Krause for voting to begin the process. This action may very well save Tarrant County for decades to come. The initial phase has begun. Now, work will begin to analyze the districts so that a new map can be crafted. There will be a vote down the road to approve the redistricting, so the work is not yet over. The Democrats will do anything they can to stop this from happening. But as long as our County Judge and Commissioners know that we have their backs, the redistricting should be successful. We will update you once the next vote is on the horizon. Help Us Establish Permanent Control We have one month to go until the local elections. Many do not vote in these elections; voter turnout is often around 6%. We need your help to change this. As you know, our goal here at TCGOP is not only to win the November elections every two years but to constantly take action that will take Tarrant County off the map as a battleground county and make it a conservative stronghold and safe haven for the foreseeable future. Part of this project means, for the first time, getting heavily involved in the local elections. TCGOP has endorsed candidates and is working to get them elected. Many of our endorsed candidates will soon receive the endorsement of the Republican Party of Texas as well. Our innovative strategy worked in the November election and brought historic victory, turning the tide of Tarrant County. We plan to implement the exact same plan in these local elections. School boards and city councils are not only the closest government to your home with the most opportunity to impact you, but they're often the training grounds for leftist politicians to later run for partisan office. To defeat the Democrats for generations to come, we have to cut them off at the source in these local elections. We need your help to do that. We plan to turn out Republican voters who supported President Trump in November but have not historically voted in the local elections. If we can achieve this, we will win big. In some of these races, 1,000 new voters can swing the election, even in a historically liberal district. For every $10 you donate, we can contact 344 Trump voters to push them to the polls. Please consider contributing today to help establish permanent control of our county! You can contribute to this effort by clicking HERE. Tarrant Democrats in Shambles Speaking of establishing permanent control over Tarrant County: a Democrat operative recently admitted that the Tarrant County Democrat Party has gone bankrupt and is in shambles. According to the report, the party has abruptly laid off all staff and had to pass a resolution just to keep the lights on for two more months. Our efforts are working. If we continue to win in the locals, in the commissioners' court, and at TCU, we truly will put the Democrat Party in Tarrant County out to pasture. Share The Roundup with Friends!
