Texas Rewrites Social Studies As Lawmakers Warn Of Activist Influence

Texas is rewriting what kids learn about America, and the fight isn’t just about dates and names. We walk through the Texas State Board of Education’s early draft of new TEKS social studies standards, why religion and history keep colliding in public classrooms, and why lawmakers are warning the board about outside activist pressure and claims they argue are flat-out false. If you care about education standards, curriculum transparency, and what “public input” should and should not change, this conversation puts the stakes in plain English.Then we hit a major local government headline: Fort Bend County Judge KP George is suspended after his felony conviction, and a new interim county judge is appointed. We break down what the appointment means, why critics call it partisan, and how an interim role can reshape a November race through visibility, resources, and “already doing the job” messaging.Hour two brings practical help and bigger accountability questions. Justin White from Senior Health Services joins us for Medicare Monday to cut through Medicare Advantage vs Medicare Supplement confusion, explain why there is no perfect plan, and share why reimbursement changes matter for your coverage. After that, we cover Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s investigation into DEI at the University of North Texas under SB 17, plus a deep dive interview with Richard Vega on the lawsuit challenging whether Harris County Commissioner Adrian Garcia vacated his seat by accepting another office. We close with a disturbing Splendora High School hoax case and a bond decision that raises serious public safety concerns.************************************************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!
