As protests on college campuses by students in solidarity with Gaza continue nationwide, the LMC spends the hour with freelance writer Arturo Dominguez about the hypocrisy of Texas governor Greg Abbott’s authoritarian response to demonstrators in the Lone Star state.
In recent week, the Republican led anti-CRT movement has extended itself to attack and defund historically black colleges and universities.
