The schools allow it because it was mandated by the Texas Legislature via SB18. The student-led organization called Medical Students for Choice are responsible for this horrible, evil training, not the University.
In response to State Representative Briscoe Cain being booed off stage at University of Houston campus, Texas Senate Bill 18 was passed June 10, 2019 by the Texas Legislature. It is a bill “relating to the protection of expressive activities at public institutions of higher education”. This bill mandates that the “freedom of expression is of critical importance and requires each public institution of higher education to ensure free, robust, and uninhibited debate and deliberations by students enrolled at the institution, regardless of whether the students are on or off campus”. SB18 expressly mandates that any student led organization shall be allowed to utilize “(C) the use of channels of communication controlled by an institution of higher education”.
