"Why don't more women sign up for STEM majors?" he asked, causing the cuffs to come out.

Be very careful who you tell a joke to in Texas

nice, but not as funny as babylonbee

Note about it from a Texan I know:

It is loaded with self-destruct
phrases plus the Feds are launching a counter strike on this type of bill. This allowed almost all of the
Democrats and a large majority of Republicans to vote for the bill knowing it was headed to a legal
trash heap the first time it gets used ( part of the Attorney full employment Act ). Everyone gets to look
like they care about assault on campus without ever really doing anything. Too bad for the people who get to litigate it but it is DOA.

I hope you're right.

It's sad that such a violation of free speech could get any votes at all.

Right or not... I think it was a crappy move by their governor.

Lt Governor here is insane - I wonder if that is his doing.

The law says you can’t be sent to jail over a subjective crime: that is a crime that’s undefined and exists only in the mind of the offended party. A crime must be defined to BE a crime!

However, this law would make it a CRIME to fail to report an action which is NOT a crime and also is subjective, depending on the viewpoint of those people who experience it.
Therefore it fails the basic test of criminality, being based on a subjective definition instead of an objective definition.
Any judge worth his salt would say the law is unenforceable as written and toss the case out of court.

A crime must be defined to BE a crime!

Hey, no crime needed. Just say the guy want want to jail "obstructed justice."
