Texas lieutenant governor wants to end tenure for new university instructors in attempt to stop the teaching of critical race theory

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has vowed to end tenure for new hires at public universities and colleges in an attempt to stop the teaching of critical race theory.
Patrick spoke at a press conference Friday where he responded to a resolution by the Faculty Council at the University of Texas this week that affirmed the "fundamental rights of faculty to academic freedom," including the teaching of race and gender theory.
"Hiding behind this academic freedom argument just doesn't work," Patrick said. "We believe in academic freedom, but everyone has guidelines in mind. Everyone has barriers, everyone has boundaries, everyone's held accountable to someone."

Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a judge to put severe sanctions on the Trump administration, saying federal officials violated court orders to prove the steps they were taking to attempt to get the wrongfully deported man out of El Salvador for weeks, before he was returned to face criminal charges.
