Texas faces another lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) over a new state law, according to a press release from the civil rights organization. Senate Bill 12, which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed Sunday, takes effect in September. It is an omnibus of school-related rules applicable to public schools and open-enrollment charter schools, primarily focused on "parental rights." ACLU of Texas Senior Staff Attorney Brian Klosterboer called SB 12 "discriminatory" in the lawsuit's announcement, which said that the ACLU will be joined by a "coalition of Texans whose constitutional rights are harmed by this new law."
