Welcome back, friends
Texas is cracking down on nearly 180 complaints against teachers accused of inappropriate online comments after activist Charlie Kirk’s death, igniting a fight between free speech advocates and state leaders. At the same time, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s decision not to seek reelection sets up a major political shakeup in Texas’ largest county.
The investigation comes in the midst of high-profile terminations for comments and online remarks made about the conservative political commentator's death, including one employee of a Texas school. fox4news.com/news/texas-tea…
