Got to love “good” Christians who throw away the teachings of Jesus so they can insert their bigotry in the name of religion.
Hypocrites!!

I went to the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council web page. I looked at the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners section, specifically the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners council meeting, October 12, 2020 where the "Adopted Rules for Licensed Clinical Social Workers" was approved. All changes, modifications, and corrections were highlighted in color. The following is the relevant excerpt as adopted by unanimous vote
"§781.301. Code of Conduct.
(a) A social worker must observe and comply with the code of conduct and standards of
practice set forth in this subchapter. Any violation of the code of conduct or standards of practice
will constitute unethical conduct or conduct that discredits or tends to discredit the profession of
social work and is grounds for disciplinary action.
(1) A social worker shall not refuse to perform any act or service for which the person is
licensed solely on the basis of a client's age; gender; race; color; religion; national origin;
disability; sexual orientation; gender identity and expression; or political affiliation."

In may not be in writing because of this statement.
"The Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners and Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council held a joint meeting on Monday, October 12th to consider adoption of the proposed changes to 22 TAC Chapter 781 published in the July 17th edition of the Texas Register.
As part of this rules package, the Board and Council considered changes to proposed new rule 22 TAC 781.301(a)(1) to align the text of the rule with the underlying statutory authority found in Section 505.451(13) of the Occupations Code. These changes were then adopted in an open meeting in accordance with the governing law.
While these changes reflect the agency’s duty to duly enacted statutes, the Board and Council recognize the importance of legal protection from discrimination. To that end, Chair Canseco has directed that the issue of discrimination by licensees be placed on the Council’s October 27th meeting agenda for further discussion and possible action.”
