“This is about values,” Abbott said. “This is about constitutional principles. This is about a restoration of who we are as a country.”

The governor acknowledged that it is highly unlikely he would endorse a similar initiative for more progressive, left-leaning causes, but added that “it would not be illegal” for them to exist in public schools. Abbott signed Senate Bill 12 earlier this year, a sweeping state law that banned student clubs with an LGBTQ+ focus.

Private Schools are, themselves, often a nasty trap. Tons of add-on costs, underpaid staff, sketchy locations, and a nasty habit of not actually teaching you anything necessary for college admissions.
