On Thursday's show: We learn about a controversy brewing in Fort Bend County as some county leaders circumnavigate the authority of the country attorney.
Also this hour: A recent policy brief from the Sandra Day O'Connor Institute for American Democracy suggests teachers across the country are largely uncomfortable teaching civics in their classes, citing challenges like insufficient training, concerns about stirring controversy, and a lack of instructional guidance from school districts and states. Is civics actually that much harder to teach these days because of things like polarized politics?
Then, he was one of the greatest rebounders in NBA history. Yet somehow, the name of former Houston Rocket Moses Malone doesn’t come up as often as Bird, Magic, or Jordan. We talk with author Paul Knepper about his new book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet.
And we talk about what we remember and what we miss about the AstroWorld theme park, which shut down on this day 20 years ago today.
