Critics demand Texas reverse an anti-discrimination decision

Season 2020 Episode 312 | 4m 01s

Earlier this month a Texas regulatory board voted to remove discrimination protections for some seeking social services. The protections had prohibited social workers from turning away clients on the basis of disability, gender identity or sexual orientation. NewsHour Weekend’s Ivette Feliciano spoke with Ricardo Martinez, CEO of Equality Texas, about the implications for these communities.
