Education policies nationwide will undergo a number of adjustments as a result of the new White House administration. As a result, Texas will always find this beat intriguing.
Even if there isn’t a presidential election this year, the effects of the one that just ended will be felt for months to come. And as a journalist, isn’t that the most fascinating thing to know?
Republicans and Democrats have distinct priorities when it comes to education, and the 89th Texas Legislative Session will start on January 14. Party leaders will have influence during the next 140-day session because the House and Senate are both Republican. Thousands of proposals have already been introduced by lawmakers, and school vouchers are still a hot topic in education. There is still a lot of talk about the statute that eliminated diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) offices on college campuses.
Property taxes, abortion, immigration, criminal justice, health, and firearms are all topics that will soon be discussed in governance. Overlaps will also occur. Republican members of the House, for instance, have submitted drafts of a bill that would prohibit certain undocumented students in Texas from receiving in-state tuition.
Being apolitical now is not an option. Being apolitical in the modern era is, as they say, a political act in and of itself.
Stay tuned as a reader! And I’ll follow suit as a journalist.
I am filled with newfound energy and, of course, anticipation for the upcoming year.
