Key Democrat Leader Flips Leftists the Bird

Expectations don’t always match reality, which is something Texas Democrats just learned the hard way. After being given a key position of power in the Texas Legislature, longtime Houston lawmaker Harold Dutton, a Democrat, was supposed to help his party by blocking legislation they oppose from reaching the House floor. Surprisingly, he didn’t.

Dutton, who has served in the Legislature since 1985, was given a key position in the public education committee by Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan.

Instead of walking in lock-step with his increasingly radical party, he advanced two key pieces of legislation out of his committee that are driving Democrats crazy: a bill that would ban critical race theory from schools, and a bill that would ban biological males from competing in women’s sports.

Another bill that Dutton is currently championing is legislation that would tie school funding to student outcomes.

The left-wing media is also losing their minds over Dutton’s decisions. In an article about the issue, Houston Public Media whined about one of the bills that Dutton pushed through, complaining that it will “force transgender students to play on school sports teams based on their biological sex instead of their gender identity.”

To anyone with half a brain, that doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Biological males have a significant advantage over biological females when it comes to sports.

If the Democrats had their way, there would be no biological females left in women’s sports, as transgender “women” would be chosen over actual women for every team due to their advantages.

According to Dutton, he’s just running his committee with the best interest of school children in mind. “I have never worried about the negative,” Dutton said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. “If you see me running in a fight, I’m chasing somebody, I’m not running.”

Dutton disagrees, arguing that any bill that has enough votes should be discussed and debated.

“Some people might disagree with it but I think that’s how the committee ought to run,” Dutton said. “If you have the votes we ought to talk about it.”
