| national origin is inherently superior or inferior to another race, | ||
| sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin; | ||
| (2) an individual should be discriminated against or | ||
| receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the | ||
| individual's race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national | ||
| origin; or | ||
| (3) an individual, by virtue of the individual's race, | ||
| sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, is inherently | ||
| responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of | ||
| the same race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2021-2022 | ||
| school year. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the | ||
