Free Speech Lawsuits, A Mayor Under Investigation, And A School Choice Showdown

A Texas State University professor praises political violence at an anarchist conference and then argues the First Amendment protects him from being fired. We break down what the Constitution actually says, why “Congress shall make no law” matters, and how state sovereignty changes the analysis when a state-funded university decides it will not subsidize certain ideologies with taxpayer dollars.Then the tone shifts to a disturbing local government story: the Magnolia mayor faces allegations of assault and sexual harassment from the city secretary, and after an internal process stalls, the Texas Rangers get involved. We talk through the realities of power dynamics at work, what “he said, she said” means for due process, and why transparency is not optional when public trust is on the line.Charles Blain from Urban Reform joins us for a rapid local recap, including the bizarre reality of a convicted county judge still serving until sentencing, “dead homeowner” homestead exemptions that may be distorting property tax fairness, HISD moves to hand off high-performing schools, and a firefighters arbitration loss the public still can’t fully see. We also dig into the Ken Paxton and Kelly Hancock rift over Texas school choice and Islamic school eligibility, plus the Texas House interim charges that signal where elections, education, immigration enforcement, energy, water, and regulatory fights are headed next.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
