Texas Standard For December 6, 2019
The system that’s normally entangled in scandal has a couple of highlights to report. We’ll talk about Texas foster care. And: What happens when the University Interscholastic League tweaks its guidelines? We look at three major implications. Also: What Texas is willing to do when it comes to vaping and e-cigarettes, we’ll tell you more.

And a new LGBTQ task force, the week in politics, and poetry for the soul. All of that and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
