德克萨斯州立大学取消了主办黑人历史101移动博物馆的计划, 这是2月黑人历史月期间1500多件纪念被忽略的黑人历史的艺术品的巡回展览。 Texas State University canceled plans to host the Black History 101 Mobile Museum, a traveling exhibit of over 1,500 artifacts celebrating overlooked Black history, during February’s Black History Month. 最初是因为德克萨斯州参议院第17号法案限制了教育倡议在公立大学的倡议,该大学后来澄清说,一名工作人员错误地说明了原因。 Initially attributed to Texas’ Senate Bill 17, which restricts DEI initiatives at public universities, the university later clarified that a staff member misstated the reason. 由教育家Khalid el-Hakim创办的展览在全国数百个机构展出。 The exhibit, created by educator Khalid el-Hakim, has been shown at hundreds of institutions nationwide. 包括得克萨斯州ACLU和NAACP法律辩护基金在内的民权团体敦促该大学以《第一修正案》的关切为由,推翻该决定。 Civil rights groups including the ACLU of Texas and NAACP Legal Defense Fund urged the university to reverse the decision, citing First Amendment concerns. 得克萨斯州表示,它正在重新考虑未来节目的展览,而哈基姆则称取消审查制度,并重申他承诺分享黑人历史。 Texas State said it is reconsidering the exhibit for future programming, while el-Hakim called the cancellation censorship and reaffirmed his commitment to sharing Black history.
