REPORT: Texas’ new K-5 curriculum—which schools would be financially incentivized to use—overemphasizes Christianity, portrays Christianity in a one-sided way that whitewashes historical truths, and incorporates Bible lessons in unwarranted ways. ⬇️.

🇺🇸 This Independence Day, we honor the true meaning of freedom: justice, equality, and dignity for all. But real freedom is under attack in Texas… from voting rights to bodily autonomy. We won’t stop fighting until freedom truly means freedom for everyone.

🌟 TFN in the news: "It essentially means that administrators and educators have to out LGBTQ students to their parents and families," Witt said. "It puts kids at risk who may not have an accepting home or parents who are ready to have that conversation."

In 2026, TFN and our youth project, @texrising Action, will continue to endorse candidates for progressive change and mobilize Texans to the ballot box.

While the 89th Regular Texas Legislative Session has come to a close, TFN’s advocacy will continue throughout 2025 as the organization educates Texans about new policy, tracks the effects of legislation on our students, and engages in organizing at the Texas SBOE.

Abbott signed a measure that limits diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in public schools, prohibits some student organizations like the “Gay-Straight Alliance,” and places constraints on curriculum content--codifying discrimination against students.

Abbott signed legislation that overhauls how public school library materials are selected/reviewed. Final decisions on school library content would rest with local school boards, not library professionals, opening the door to increased censorship.

A new law would ban local governments in Texas from providing transportation and lodging for abortion seekers. The bill bans basic assistance to help Texans obtain legal healthcare in other states, further enforcing Texas’s deadly abortion ban.

Continuing in his religious overhaul of Texas classrooms, Abbott signed a new law mandating prayer in schools, violating Texans’ constitutional rights.

In a devastating blow to the religious freedom of students and teachers, Governor Abbott signed the Ten Commandments Bill into law, forcing state-sanctioned religion into Texas classrooms.

It’s been a busy weekend for the Governor, who signed more than 300 bills into law from the regular 89th Texas Legislative Session. We’ve spent over five months monitoring the #txlege—here’s a recap on where our priority bills stand as of this weekend:.

Transgender youth and their families are not alone in this fight. We will continue to fight relentlessly to ensure all people, including transgender individuals, have the freedom to shape their own futures.

The Supreme Court has failed to protect families' freedoms and has allowed politicians to target the healthcare needs of transgender youth. This is a devastating moment for transgender youth, their parents, and their doctors across the country.

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has upheld a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for trans youth, in U.S. v Skremetti, a decision effectively green-lighting a similar law in Texas and about two dozen other states.

.This #PrideMonth (and every month), Texas Freedom Network celebrates the power, resilience, and joy of LGBTQIA+ Texans. In the face of hate and censorship, we’re building a Texas where all people can feel safe and at ease, thrive, and exist — freely and authentically.

“We still have so many people who are willing to show up for each other and keep each other safe, and I saw that throughout the entire session.” - Emily Witt / TFN Senior Communications & Media Strategist.

“This is a minority of people who are extremists and have been given millions of dollars to push forth this anti-trans legislation, but they don’t actually reflect Texas,” - Emily Witt / TFN Senior Communications & Media Strategist .
