Texas Standard for April 20, 2017
Texas is number 1 for reports of improper teacher-student relationships – and the numbers continue to rise. Why and what can be done? And: An alternative to the much-debated Senate “bathroom bill” does not require people to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate. We’ll hear why that’s not a “fix” for many bathroom bill opponents. Also: A power plant that diverts carbon before it gets into the air. Sounds great – but how’s that working out? Plus: We love our smartphones and such, but is there such a thing as too much tech? More: The only Spanish-speaking mosque in the U.S., and what it says about America’s most diverse city. You bet it’s in Texas. All that and much more on the Texas Standard:
