On Friday the Texas State Board of Education voted on controversial changes to the social studies curriculum in public schools. Board members approved the removal of several historical figures including Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller from the curriculum, as well as a continued emphasis on Judeo-Christian values. Texas government reporter for the Dallas News Lauren McGaughy joins me on the show today to talk all about the curriculum and what happens next.
Since we last spoke with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened--a woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault went public, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort struck a plea deal with the Mueller team, and New York State’s primary election. Mark returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.
