Episode description

Besides all but banning abortions, GOP leaders in Texas are limiting what students may learn about slavery, they’re sidelining transgender athletes, they’re allowing citizens to carry guns unlicensed, and they’re making voting harder rather than easier. This week we replay for you the story of a teacher in Dallas who says those education reforms hurt classrooms and democracy. Plus, two historians speak Texan with Siva and guest-host Allison Wright of VQR, as they cover all those other divisive measures.
