Texas schools

Students had been pushing for the State Board of Education to adopt a new, more inclusive social studies curriculum this year. Instead, the board delayed their scheduled update until at least 2025.

Across the country, more books have been challenged and removed as religious and conservative groups target LGBTQ and race issues.

The board was initially supposed to update the social studies curriculum by the end of this year.

Texas teachers are dealing with the ongoing pandemic, staff shortages, and now, more prominently, the political forces pushing them on social topics such as race and LGBTQ issues.

Few schools have been able to keep up with the recent wave of teacher resignations.

Online racism tied to a Lubbock school might have greater implications for students and parents than imagined.

Campuses won’t be warned ahead of time about the “random intruder detection audits.”

The Texas State Board of Education is fielding proposals to update the state’s public school social studies curriculum this summer.

Gov. Greg Abbott also said the suspect was dead.

Abbott expanded on comments he made about how he wants to “resurrect” the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe, which guaranteed that public schools would educate all students regardless of citizenship status.
