GOP-led fight over allegations of student indoctrination raises tensions at University of Houston

March 0905:00 AM
 

GOP-led fight over allegations of student indoctrination raises tensions at University of Houston -   After two legislative sessions in which Republican lawmakers hammered universities as bastions of liberal indoctrination, campuses across Texas are restricting how race and gender can be taught and requiring instructors to present controversial subjects in a “balanced” way. At the University of Houston, some deans have taken the unusual step of requiring faculty to certify they “teach, not indoctrinate.”  Tensions on campus escalated when a five-page checklist instructing professors on how to review course materials was unveiled last month during a faculty council meeting.  Some professors say the checklist, coupled with the certification effort, reinforce what they see as a false premise: that indoctrination is widespread in university classrooms. They say the efforts pressure instructors to avoid controversial topics altogether. view article  arw

Legal fight over SpaceX beach closures hits Texas Supreme Court

March 0608:40 AM
 

EDINBURG — The Texas Supreme Court pondered how far the state can go in limiting access to a public beach during oral arguments Thursday in a case involving the closure of Boca Chica Beach for SpaceX’s rocket launches.  Rio Grande Valley environmentalist and indigenous groups are suing the Texas General Land Office and Cameron County over a law, passed in 2013, that allows some counties to temporarily close a beach for space flight activities.   The lawsuit is among multiple waged over the years between local advocates and SpaceX as the space exploration company has continued to expand its physical footprint and the frequency of its rocket launches in South Texas. Both, activists argue, have caused harm to the local environment and impeded the public’s ability to access a beach that has to be closed off for safety when SpaceX is conducting its test launches. view article  arw

Wichita Falls ISD avoids state takeover, will keep its elected school board

Spring Branch ISD Orders Ramadan Display Removed From Bunker Hill Elementary

March 0605:00 AM
 

Spring Branch ISD directed campus leaders to remove a Ramadan display at Bunker Hill Elementary School, saying the decoration violated district policy.  A Ramadan display set up in the lobby of Bunker Hill Elementary School in Houston was removed earlier this week after Spring Branch ISD determined it violated the district’s policy on religious and political neutrality.  “Because the display was religious in nature, campus leaders were directed to remove it,” the district said in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. A district spokesperson said the removal was prompted by a parent complaint.  he display was put up by the Parent Teacher Association’s cultural awareness committee. Casey Kaf Alghazal, the committee’s chair, said the school has had Ramadan-related decorations in past years, but this year’s display was larger than previous ones. It featured “Ramadan Mubarak” signage and crescent moon imagery in the school’s lobby. view article  arw

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

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

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

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

State Rep. James Talarico won the Texas Senate Democratic primary, defeating Rep.

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

A Georgia jury Tuesday took the rare action of holding a father criminally responsible for actions blamed on his son, who is alleged to have gunned down two schoolmates and two teachers while he was armed with an AR-15-style rifle kept in their home.  The panel in Barrow County found Colin Gray, 55, guilty of all charges, which included second-degree murder and cruelty to children, in connection with the Sept. 4, 2024, mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder. His son, Colt Gray, is charged with the shooting itself. view article  arw
