Crackdown on student protests (Feb. 6, 2026)

On Friday's show: The Texas Education Agency has warned school districts that facilitating student political walkouts could lead to a state takeover. This comes as the agency unveils a newly created enforcement role focusing on overseeing investigations into alleged misconduct by Texas teachers. We get the latest on this developing story.

Also this hour: We discuss how digital maps are increasingly being used to reveal patterns across Greater Houston, from the famed Houston arrow, to the Whataburger location map being used as a substitute for power outage tracking during major storms, to an ICE tracker map being developed by students at Rice University.

Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we preview the latest in a series of concerts from The Apollo Chamber Players celebrating America’s 250th birthday and the centennial of what became Black History Month.
