The “Civilian Interaction Training Program” is a project of the Texas Commission On Law Enforcement, aimed at teaching children how not to terrify heavily armed, easily-spooked Texas law enforcement officers, who, when triggered, are at risk of murdering children during traffic stops. Reviewing these training materials is mandatory for anyone hoping to receive a diploma from a Texas high school. The bill’s author, Texas state senator Royce West, says the curriculum’s purpose is to end “distrust for law enforcement.”
