The Texas Textbook Massacre w/ Sam Smeaton
Public school teacher Sam Smeaton returns to break down the controversial overhaul of Texas' teaching standards and what it means for classrooms across the state. We discuss the ideological and religious influences shaping the proposed curriculum, the role outside organizations have played in rewriting educational standards, and why so many Texas teachers have sounded the alarm. The conversation also explores what the State Board of Education ultimately decided, what these changes could mean for students' understanding of American history and civics, and why education policy has become one of the nation's most contentious political battlegrounds. Plus, we touch on the state of Texas politics and what to watch in the upcoming Senate race.
