Thomas Alter is the second professor in the state to be terminated for allegedly violating university policy after a video was posted on social media.

The State Board of Education is taking on an overhaul of the social studies curriculum that had been delayed by a split over Texas history.

El Paso is the sixth biggest city in Texas and the 22nd largest in America. The city's flag could probably stand to be a little more interesting as a result, and it looks more like the logo of a school district than a large, dynamic city. Still, the blue, yellow and brown colors blend together well.

A Texas State University history professor has been fired after being accused of calling for political violence after a video of him speaking at a socialism conference was posted on social media.

The policy continuation follows a contentious year of legal back and forth between fair officials and the city of Dallas, with the state, after Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit over the gun ban policy, alleging the weapons ban was unlawful because it was on government-owned property.

The decision by Texas State University marks the second termination of a Texas public university professor for views unpopular to conservatives after direct political pressure to do so.

Educators worry the plan will deemphasize topics like world geography, history and cultures. The board aims to vote on what specific content social studies lessons will include by next summer.
