"The ACLU published its Students’ Rights Hub on Aug. 31, which contains resources to inform students about their rights and how to take action against censorship and discrimination....Tatum Owens, the president of UT’s chapter of Texas Rising, said many young people who want to get involved in civic engagement do not know where to start.

“For young people who are looking to hold their schools and communities accountable, this resource is vital,” political communication senior Owens said. “You need to know your rights, that way you can defend them when they’re violated.”

Owens said she would have liked to see more resources included, such as specific city codes and state agencies, but because of the difficult language of laws, these resources might be confusing for students.

“The hub itself was kind of bare, but I think that’s also due to how jargony it can become otherwise,” Owens said. “State government can really be inaccessible to everyday citizens.”
