Texas Standard for November 20, 2015
An attack in Africa. A former French colony. How does it fit into the events of the past seven days? A top adviser to the Secretary of State weighs in. And: Five Texas democrats in the House join 47 others bucking their party against the President over the Syrian refugee bill. We’ll hear the backstory. Plus: If you can’t pass the test, you might get a waiver… thousands of Texans got to graduate who might not have otherwise. We’ll discuss the implications. Also: The week in Texas politics and lots more on Friday’s Texas Standard.
