UNT Removes LGBTQ+ Archive Page After Social Media Post by Texas Representative
The page returned a 404 error after Brian Harrison called the archive “transgender indoctrination,” and UNT later corrected a misspelling on the error page.
- Following online criticism from State Rep. Brian Harrison, the University of North Texas removed a webpage detailing its LGBTQ archive over the weekend. Harrison claimed the site pointed to "TRANSGENDER INDOCTRINATION" at UNT.
- Harrison's X post on Friday triggered the removal; by Saturday morning, the link displayed a 404 error. Harrison then criticized a misspelling on the error page, which UNT corrected by Monday.
- The UNT collection holds more than 15,000 items preserving regional LGBTQ history. The Dallas Way President Steve Atkinson stated the archive represents "history of a lot of Texas communities," arguing it does not constitute indoctrination.
- Harrison, described by Texas Monthly as a "cockroach," claimed he had "won yet another victory" over higher education. He previously pressured Texas State University to remove an LGBTQ+ course, stating results were "100% a result of my actions."
- This removal reflects a broader legislative push against perceived indoctrination in educational spheres. Texas has banned DEI offices, passed Senate Bill 37, and universities have reduced academic programs, signaling a sustained policy trend affecting higher education.
