Republican Voters Overwhelmingly Back Ban on Sharia Law 


March 0505:17 AM
 

Republican primary voters across Texas overwhelmingly supported a ballot proposition calling for the prohibition of Sharia law, according to unofficial results from the March 2026 Primary Election.  The measure—Proposition 10—asked voters whether Texas should prohibit the use of Sharia law. The proposition was one of 10 non-binding questions placed on the Republican primary ballot by the Republican Party of Texas to gauge grassroots priorities ahead of the party’s 2026 convention and the 2027 legislative session.  The propositions are advisory only but are often used by party activists and lawmakers to shape the party platform and future legislative priorities. view article  arw

Court documents reveal domestic violence history of Austin shooting suspect

March 0505:00 AM
 

A court-documented history of family violence didn’t bar the suspected West Sixth Street attack suspect from owning guns under Texas law.  Four days after the deadly shooting on West Sixth Street early Sunday morning, the Pflugerville neighborhood where suspected gunman Ndiaga Diagne once lived is quiet again, the shock of the attack now receding from view even as questions about his past grow sharper.  The news crews and police vehicles that filled the block as police executed a search warrant in the hours after the shooting are long gone, and the home’s driveway now sits empty. Neighbors told Austin Current that aside from the flashing lights and uniformed officers who arrived soon after the shooting, the home had never drawn attention.  “There were no cops ever,” said Chris Finch, who lives next door. “They kept to themselves.” view article  arw

Barbers Hill Foundation Gave 3 Percent of $89 Million to School District

March 0505:00 AM
 

Eight years of federal forms filed by the Barbers Hill Education Foundation show it returned just 3 percent of monies it received to the Barbers Hill Independent School District. A specialist suggests the district is using the foundation to evade the state’s “Robin Hood” recapture system.  This information was gleaned from Form 990s that the foundation, a nonprofit organization, filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Texas Scorecard reviewed forms filed for the years 2015 to 2021, and 2023, comparing total contributions and grants received in a given year with grants given back to the district. There was no 2022 filing available on the IRS website. view article  arw

Olathe schools refuse to answer questions about ‘student-led’ walkout that ended in violence

March 0408:49 AM
 

A “student-led” walkout on Feb. 20 at Olathe Northwest High School to protest immigration enforcement ended in a violent altercation between students and multiple arrests, and the district is refusing to answer questions.  The Sentinel asked Olathe Superintendent Brent Yeager and Olathe Northwest Principal Chris Zuck if the district condoned the walkout and if any action to prevent the walkout was taken. Yeager and Zuck were also asked if district staff participated and if there would be any disciplinary action taken against participants for leaving school grounds during school hours.  As of publication, there has been no response.  The district sent out notices to parents affirming the students’ “right to protest.”  But a note from Yeager noted this was only the latest such walkout. view article  arw

Talarico defeats Crockett in Texas Senate Democratic primary

March 0408:40 AM
 

State Rep. James Talarico won the Texas Senate Democratic primary, defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett and giving party leaders the candidate they had quietly seen as the stronger option to flip the ruby-red state.  The race was defined by questions of electability and simmering racial tensions, as Talarico and Crockett worked to reassemble the party’s fractured multiracial coalition. That carried over through Tuesday, with both candidates raising concerns that voters had been disenfranchised in Crockett’s home base of Dallas County, which includes a large number of Black voters. view article  arw

Parent Sues Texas for Excluding Islamic Schools From Education Freedom Program

March 0405:00 AM
 

A Muslim parent is suing Texas for excluding certain Islamic private schools from the state’s new school choice program.  The federal lawsuit alleges constitutional violations for religious discrimination and attempts to refute claims that the excluded schools have terrorist ties.   Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) allow families to use taxpayer-funded accounts to pay for private school tuition, homeschooling expenses, and other educational services—up to $10,000 per student per year.  The program was enacted by the Texas Legislature in 2025. Applications for the 2026-27 school year opened in February and the deadline is March 17.  In December 2025, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock requested Attorney General Ken Paxton’s legal opinion on whether certain private schools may be barred from participating in the program due to potential ties to terrorist organizations or foreign adversaries. view article  arw

Republicans back Trump’s war on Iran

March 0308:40 AM
 

Republicans on Capitol Hill are about to give President Donald Trump a major boost — a green light to conduct a war against Iran without worrying about Congress, at least for now.  The House and Senate are on track this week to vote down a pair of bipartisan war power resolutions aimed at limiting Trump’s ability to conduct the Iran campaign. Rank-and-file Republicans are prepared to back Trump, giving them co-ownership of a conflict that’s already unpopular with Americans.  The Senate is likely to vote Wednesday, with the House set to vote on Thursday. The House and Senate will receive separate briefings on Iran this afternoon from top administration officials.  Who to watch. In the Senate, previous GOP skeptics of Trump’s unilateral war-making authority say they’re comfortable with the president’s efforts on Iran. view article  arw
