Texas Goes Back to School - Or Backwards? Happy Hour 297

Back to school - and backwards thinking - happening right now as students across the state return to school facing new policies and voucher programs in place, the threat or consequences of state takeovers combined with defunded public schools, and a multi-pronged attempt to indoctrinate Texas children into Christian Nationalist, Prager U-infused curriculum.We’re joined by guests Cameron Samuels, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT); Zeph Capo, President of the Texas American Federation of Teachers (AFT); and Felicia Martin, President & Executive Director of Texas Freedom Network and the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund (TFN) to teach you and every student, teacher, parent, and public education advocate what you can do to protect our public schools and the people who depend on them.Learn more about the Texas American Federation of Teachers at https://www.texasaft.org/.Learn more about Texas Freedom Network and the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund at https://tfn.org.Learn more about Students Engaged in Advancing Texas or SEAT at https://www.studentsengaged.org.Thanks for listening!
