The Texas Department of Transportation is being accused of trying to hide records related to D-E-I.
The agency has appealed an open records request made by 'Texas Scorecard' .. after a whistleblower claimed the agency is pushing a woke agenda on its employees. Attorney Jared Woodfill with the Conservative Republicans of Texas isn't surprised.
"This woke agenda has even permeated conservative states like Texas," Woodfill said.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a DEI ban at Texas public colleges this year, but there is no law concerning state agencies.
"If they show an agency going forward with a woke, progressive agenda, then it's time for the Governor to act with a similar bill to the DEI bill," Woodfill explained, adding that he would not be surprised if other state agencies were doing the same thing.
The state Attorney General has 45 days to respond to TXDOT's appeal. You can read more from Texas Scorecard HERE.
