Why the 2022 Harris County Judge Race will Be Critical for Education Programs in Harris County by Diana Martinez To protect public education, advocates must keep a close eye on local races such as the one for Harris County Judge. In Texas and across the country, education is under attack. Far-right misinformation propagandists are stirring up nonexistent issues to enrage unwitting parents to push bans on books and attacks on teachers. Schools are under constant threat of gun violence thanks to inaction by the governor and outlandish conspiracy policy pushed by Ted Cruz and the NRA. Even a cursory glance at the falsehoods and extremist positions peddled in the wake of Uvalde display the dangers of Greg Abbott's perspective on schools. Rightwing demagogues in league with outwardly white supremacist groups are aggresively protesting public LGBTQ events, a few short months after Indicted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton decided to leverage the power of his office to attack trans kids through a questionable legal maneuver. ... Voters in Harris County have a choice this November to either embolden MAGA extremists who oppose public education programs that have had a significant positive impact in our community, or support the people who made those programs come to life. Parents, students, and teachers relying on critical services such as literacy programs, special needs education, and early childhood education from the Harris County Department of Education need our support to keep those services going. In particular, we need a County Judge like Lina Hidalgo, who will stand up for our local community against the whims of Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and their super donors. By backing pro-ed candidates like Hidalgo and Duhon, we can give every kid the chance to thrive. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

On Thursday's Houston Matters: A new report just out from the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty notes this year's historically low levels of death penalty sentences and executions. And much of Greater Houston's public health concerns (during the pandemic and otherwise) are served by two agencies: the Harris County Department of Public Health and the City of Houston Department of Health and Human Services. And while those two agencies in some ways serve different populations in different areas of the region there is some overlap between what they do. A new study suggests the region could benefit from consolidating those agencies like other Texas cities. We learn how.

This episode of the Making After School Cool podcast is part two of a two-part series about the benefits of managing youth urban debate leagues. When you think of the types of students participating in debate tournaments, seldom do we think of low economic students living in an urban setting who will be the first in their families to go to college.
