Texas may be the next state to replace "no means no" with "yes means yes."
State Sen. Kirk Watson became the latest lawmaker to introduce legislation that would require universities to change their sexual assault policies to reflect the standard of "affirmative consent."

“If there’s a case of abuse, that person needs to have change of behavior and a serious change of heart,” he was quoted as saying. “Hopefully even in those cases restoration can happen.”
