Strange that all these conservatives complain about Muslims and how they treat women, are the same ones who want to treat women the same here.

“What would a travel ban even look like?”

But given the trajectory of the Texas educational system, those potential Texans will have to travel out of state to get a decent, up-to-date, relevant science or engineering education to help correct the problem. The Texas legislature needs to pass laws banning the crossing of state lines for educational purposes.

It’s not that weird! It looks very Porsche or even Audi like.
