Ken Paxton’s Trucking School Probe And The New Fight Over School Accountability

A commercial driver who can’t read road signs shouldn’t be behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, yet Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is now investigating trucking schools accused of certifying unqualified CDL drivers and telling students English proficiency isn’t required. We walk through what the allegations say, why federal CDL English rules exist, and how “cutting corners” in driver training can turn into a statewide public safety problem.Then we shift to a legal fight that’s heading toward the U.S. Supreme Court: Texas Senate Bill 10 and the requirement to display the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom. With a Houston rabbi among the families challenging the law after the Fifth Circuit upheld it, we dig into the arguments about constitutional rights, separation of church and state, and the competing claim that the Ten Commandments sit at the historical root of Western legal tradition.Texas Scorecard reporter Aaron Anderson joins me to explain a major change at the Texas Education Agency: a new Inspector General for educator misconduct and new transparency guidelines meant to give parents more usable information about what actually happened, not just that a certificate was sanctioned. We also cover a controversial SBEC decision involving a Rockwall coach, plus a new report alleging a daycare-linked pay-to-play H-1B visa scheme, a self-defense shooting tied to a social media meetup, and growing pressure over accreditation, DEI loopholes, and grievance studies at Texas A&M and Texas Tech.************************************************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!
