A new consultant contract at a Texas Educational Service Center would muzzle authors & harm students, barring them from inclusive experiences.
Y'all, this is REALLY BAD.
This is the next step in banning any voices outside those deemed right by white supremacy.

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.
So here’s a quick thread to help.
