The week in politics, the state of Texas teachers, and remembering Astroworld in art (April 20, 2022)

On Wednesday’s show: The travel mask mandate has been struck down. Florida's governor wants to end a special status for Disney World. And Alex Jones' Infowars has filed for bankruptcy. We discuss those and other stories in our weekly political roundup.

Also this hour: Many Texas teachers were already burned out before the pandemic exacerbated the issues they face, such as low pay, poor school finance, and an outdated standardized testing strategy. A recent Texas Monthly story let teachers sounds off on what they’re facing.

And the tragic loss of life at the Astroworld music festival last fall also left a stigma on Houston’s beloved, long-lost theme park of the same name. We learn how an art show this weekend featuring works inspired by and celebrating the Astroworld theme park hopes to change that some.
