As we begin to enter into a new school year, a trauma responsive school organization and district is deeply exploring discipline protocols! I will be sharing this widely this year! It's just not about programs!

The Austin Chronicle did a short on-line article about me and my business. It highlights the Texas Legislative session and how that impacts who I am and what I do. austinchronicle.com/daily/qm…

NEW: We’ve warned public school districts across Texas that allowing chaplains to counsel students is an unconstitutional violation of students’ right to religious freedom. Families and faith communities get to instill religious beliefs — not the government.

“Our students deserve nothing less.” Thank you @aratisingh and @LYNNforAISD for advocating for public ed funding! This is a must-read article, y’all 👏🏻🍎
Opinion: AISD is investing in our students. So should the state. In ⁦@statesman⁩ w/ ⁦@aratisingh⁩ - ahead of budget vote. “Without this raise, 2,100 hourly employees would earn less than our city’s teenaged lifeguards, who start at $20.” statesman.com/story/opinion/…

I refuse to let Christian Nationalists take over my country or my religion. It's incumbent upon people of faith like me—especially those in political power—to speak out and fight back. Thank you @politico for covering our work here in Texas. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Replacing well-educated, licensed professionals with uncertified chaplains threatens the safety and education of all Texas students. Families and faith communities have the right to instill religious beliefs in their children — not the government. texastribune.org/2023/05/24/…

Disturbing, and completely undermines mental health support in schools.
When the Texas House was debating SB763, the bill that allows districts to replace counselors with chaplains, @DiegoBernalTX flat out asked Cole Hefner if a district could replace ALL counselors with chaplains. The answer was YES. #txlege #txed

Dear #txlege, SB14 bans healthcare for #trans & non-binary kids—it’s already having devastating impact on their mental health. Increasing suicide risk. Please fight hard, stop this oppressive bill! 🛑Kids’ lives are on the line. Signed, child therapist and 5th generation Texan

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself. Join our campaign today: colinallred.com
