Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz introduced a change to a Democrat-authored “Asian hate crime” bill making its way through Congress, expanding on the bill’s prohibitions against anti-Asian racism by stripping federal funding from colleges and universities that discriminate against Asians in their admissions process.
Cruz was one of six Republicans who initially opposed the bill, which is “aimed at addressing hate crimes against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to the Houston Chronicle, voting against ending an early filibuster.
