flag Texas Rep. Brian Harrison's push to remove LGBTQ+ content from Texas universities sparked firings, resignations, and course changes, though schools cite internal reasons.

flag Texas State Representative Brian Harrison, a Republican from Midlothian, has intensified a campaign to remove LGBTQ+ content from Texas university curricula, using social media to spotlight courses he labels as ideological indoctrination. flag Following a viral video of a Texas State University student reenacting the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Harrison shared a course description for an LGBTQ+ Communication Studies class, prompting the university to remove it. flag His actions, amplified through conservative media, have led to broader institutional changes, including the firing of a Texas A&M professor, the resignation of the university’s president, and course reviews at multiple institutions. flag Harrison claims credit for these shifts, framing his efforts as accountability to taxpayers and traditional values, though universities cite internal factors like low enrollment and academic governance. flag The controversy reflects ongoing political tensions over education policy, diversity initiatives, and academic freedom in Texas.
