Abbott’s School Vouchers and Anti-Transgender Stance Raise Constitutional Concerns

Texas Governor Greg Abbott sparked controversy at a conservative convention by advocating for school vouchers and targeting transgender individuals. Abbott criticized a male teacher who wore a dress to work, arguing that such behavior should not be normalized in schools. However, his comments conflict with the 2020 Supreme Court ruling that LGBTQ people are protected from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Despite the constitutional implications, some conservatives support Abbott’s stance, including State Rep. Briscoe Cain and Texas GOP Chairman Matt Rinaldi.
