GREG ABBOTT has issued another extension of his COVID19 emergency declaration.
His latest unilateral decision comes as case counts continue to decline, and classes of individuals most likely to be adversely affected by the illness are better defined.

THE TEXAS SBOE will take up sex education curriculum this week.
A militant minority advocating for increased and younger sexualized children is upset proposed standards exclude the normalization of an LGBTQ agenda, consumption of pornography, and promiscuity.
Increasingly, progressive curriculum is labeled "comprehensive."
The True Texas Project has formally backed a resolution in support of the SBOE's revisions to the curriculum standards, proposing guidelines that students be taught the benefits of abstaining from sex and for sex education to be addressed at home.
