To develop safe and healthy school environments, schools must be able to respond to bullying and harassment appropriately and take deliberate action to prevent it. This includes incidents where the bullying taking place is based on or related to a student’s race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, religion or disability status.

Students across Texas have been increasingly reporting alarming examples of discriminatory bullying in schools – fueled in part by confusion and misinformation regarding curriculum, library, and staff training and professional development laws (Duggins-Clay & Lyons, 2024).
