Summary

The Trump regime’s attacks on public education at the federal level are filtering down to the states, like in Texas where the flagship university, the University of Texas, recently consolidated African and African Diaspora Studies, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, American Studies, and Mexican American and Latino Studies into a single unit. On today’s show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with scholar and friend of the program, Karma Chávez about what's happening in Texas and around the country.
