A Texas State University student’s enrollment ended after a video was posted showing him mocking conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death.
The university's announcement came hours after Gov. Greg Abbott called for the student's expulsion.

Paging @helenbranswell.bsky.social and other health reporters. When I go to CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillane System (YRBSS), this is what I see now. What does the CDC have to say about this? What other pages have been removed? There must be a story here and the public needs answers.

Downloaded the YRBSS datasets before they were taken down.
I have published very few studies on sexual identity but perhaps I have a new found interest in the subject.
Anyway, if y’all need the data let me know.

This will include BRFSS and YRBSS data, which have SOGI modules.
I’ll emphasize that this is a rumor.
But I’ve heard from people I trust that CDC has been ordered to scrub their datasets of LGBTQIA identifiers. This is supposed to start tomorrow.
If you rely on gov datasets that have anything to do with this anti-woke witch hunt, I would download a copy ASAP.
