This is a great test case.

The State of Texas will lose.

Strange that such a perfect specimen should take on this law.

Almost like the Austin lawyers looked far and wide for a way to bust the Texas legislature.

The law passed in reaction to the same lefty lawyers who pushed BDS. It may not be legal but if the legislature passed it, it is a law.

I'll bet that a lot is missing from this story.

Strange that the left now decides that the First Amendment applies to individuals.

It sure is. Let’s say you’re a car salesman, working for Ford. And Ford demands that you sign a paper promising to buy only Ford products. You refuse. So Ford fires you.

Is that legal? I think so. The First Amendment only protects free speech from government suppression. It does not protect free speech in general.

But here we have not a private company, but a government school. So yes, this will be an interesting case.
