Greg Abbott (R) is holding a special legislative session to address a variety of issues important to Texans across the state. The special session began July 8 and legislators are set to debate matters, including bail reform, election integrity, border security, social media censorship and others. On Friday, the Texas Senate passed two measures involving abortion and critical race theory.<\/p>\n<p>The upper chamber passed Senate Bill 3, in turn, reportedly stripping out a future requirement that students learn \u201cwhite supremacy is morally wrong\u201d while also expanding restrictions on how certain history topics are taught in schools. State Sen. Bryan Hughes (R) said its meant to be a \u201cguardrail\u201d against imposing \u201cdivision and animosity\u201d on students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also will not let a small but growing number of activists use the blots on our history to justify this new regime of otherness on our children, we will not allow that,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe will not teach our children, because of the past, that one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex, nor that someone due to their race or sex is inherently racist, or sexist, or oppressive. We will not teach those things.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SB3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SB3<\/a> has passed the Texas Senate making sure Texas children are taught that we should be judged by the content of character and not the color of skin. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/txlege?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#txlege<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CriticalRaceTheory?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CriticalRaceTheory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Bryan Hughes (@SenBryanHughes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenBryanHughes\/status\/1416113100558938116?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The other measure, Senate Bill 4, would reportedly \u201cban medically induced abortions after about seven-weeks of pregnancy.\u201d The vote came after Texas signed a measure into law back in ay that reportedly prohibits abortions as early as six-weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The special session could last until August 8.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2460921\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2460921\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2460921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AP21194736933223.jpg\" alt=\"A plane pulls the message &#039;Don&#039;t Mess with Texas Voter Y&#039;all&#039; over the Texas Capitol, Tuesday, July 13, 2021, in Austin, Texas.
