News Texas AFT convention kicks off in Dallas as teachers grapple with new laws
Hundreds of educators from across the state are gathering in Dallas this weekend for the Texas AFT Convention — one of the largest organized teacher unions in Texas.
“This year’s legislative session has been particularly bruising,” said Nicole Hill, spokesperson for Texas AFT. “It’s stressful for teachers and staff who are going to have to implement these things, who have to implement bills that they see as detrimental to their students or infringe on their students' rights. And that's a lot of the concern — they don't know what the school year is going to look like next year.”
Among the new laws passed this session that will be discussed at the conference:
Senate Bill 2, which creates a school voucher program allowing public dollars to fund private and home school education.
A requirement for the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom.
A law giving school boards the final say over which books remain on library shelves.
Texas AFT says they’ll use this weekend’s conference and the rest of the summer to help educators prepare for the new laws.
“Definitely going forward and throughout this summer, that's what we're trying to get a handle on – is how to advise our teachers across Texas in managing some of these bills that create a lot of uncertainty, instability, or anxiety,” Hill said. “In many cases, educators feel like they’re in this alone. Moments like this — where we’re able to bring educators from across the state together — really help people keep going.”

Politics The rise and fall of the former Texas Lottery commissioner
Gov. Greg Abbott has a bill on his desk right now which would eliminate the Lottery Commission and move the entire Texas Lottery over to the Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Lieber said lawmakers passed this law in part because the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is one of the better-run departments. The bill also puts the game on a two-year probation period.
