The Texas State Board of Education recently approved a social studies curriculum that disparages Islam and minimizes Black history.

The Texas State Board of Education recently approved a social studies curriculum that disparages Islam and minimizes Black history.

I’ve been watching him go to the Black church. And if Talarico becomes the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas in decades, we may look back and realize Talarico did understood something many in the Democratic Party haven’t. And that is that the Black vote matters and you don’t get the Black vote without going through the Black Church.

Last week, BNG reported that James Talarico will speak at Baylor University. On Sept. 16, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate will hold a campaign event at the Baptist university. The event will be limited to Baylor students, faculty and staff, and it comes after the university extended invit...

The single most corrupt thing so far about the current United States federal government under this president is the corruption of the immigration enforcement bureaucracy. There are many competitors for this sad award, but at the level of government policy, in my judgment, this is the worst.

OPINION: "All these are impeachable offenses. But no Republican in Congress has taken any of them seriously. Whether they showed up in Dallas this week or not, they have given our criminal president a pass."

As the Republican Party holds its midterm convention here in Dallas this week, it’s notable how many Republican elected officials suddenly found somewhere else to be. Some of these don’t want to get more of the stink of a failing presidency on them. Too late. Every Republican in Congress — bot...

The White House has launched an online arcade featuring possibly vibe-coded knockoffs of five retro-classic arcade games modified to promote pro-Trump MAGA themes.

The White House has launched an online arcade featuring possibly vibe-coded knockoffs of five retro-classic arcade games modified to promote pro-Trump MAGA themes. And yes, it’s everything you would expect: Poorly made, copyright-infringing, creatively and morally bankrupt nostalgia bait that perf...

OPINION: “A map tells us where we are. Power wants to tell us what the map means.”

One of my favorite episodes of The West Wing involves a fictional practice known as Big Block of Cheese Day. Based on Andrew Jackson’s tradition of inviting anybody and everybody to the White House for conversation and to enjoy part of a giant wheel of cheese, the Bartlet administration admits int...

OPINION: "Whatever the topic and the tone of your daily stream of talk, you also are creating the social reality shared by you and the people you talk with regularly."

I often reminded my students that there’s no such thing as small talk. All talk is big talk! Why? Because with our daily outpouring of talk, we create the social worlds we then inhabit. It’s sometime referred to as “the social construction of reality.” That social world we inhabit is largely...

OPINION: "Chernobyl was not only a sign of the collapse of the USSR; it remains a sign of the fragility of any civilization built on deception and violence."

Forty years ago, a reactor exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The consequences of this largest technological disaster in history — environmental contamination, ecological catastrophe and socio-economic losses — will continue to affect us for many decades. But the most terrible impact...
