Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said he would like to end tenure for new hires at Texas’s public universities and colleges and revoke tenure for professors who teach critical race theory (CRT).

“What we will propose to do is end tenure, all tenure for all new hires,” Patrick, a Republican, said at a Feb. 18 press conference.
