Texas Social Workers Can Now Turn Away Disabled And LGBTQ Clients

Social workers in Texas are now allowed to turn away LGBTQ clients and those with a disability. The state Board of Social Work Examiners voted to change sections of its code of conduct, following a recommendation by the governor. That means protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and disability can be removed. Advocacy and professional organizations are already lashing out against the move.
