Banning books to start the school year: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of the week

A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week's news, we turn to a rotating panel of "non-experts" to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• More than 40 books being banned from a Texas school district’s libraries
• The dean of a Houston-area business school resigning after it’s alleged he lied rather substantially on his resume

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Jessica Brown of Station Theater
• Vivian Ho, health economist at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine
• Lisa Falkenberg, editor of opinion for the Houston Chronicle
