Texas faces funding suit over public schools ruling
Judge John Dietz is to decide by May whether Texas public school funding is inadequate or unconstitutional. NEA figures show Texas remains near the bottom nationally in per pupil funding, with $8,998 spent per student versus a $11,674 U.S. average, and teacher pay well below the national norm. The state touts graduation gains, yet attrition remains high with 25 percent leaving before graduation.

Freedom of Religion and Individual Rights in Faith Debates
A critique argues that current religious freedom discourse ignores abuses by churches and advocates recognizing unorthodox and irreligious rights.
