Episode Synopsis

Texas voters pushed out several House incumbents, likely clearing the path to passage for Gov. Abbott's education savings accounts plan. Plus, the Texas Supreme Court rejects a high-profile challenge to the state's abortion laws, in a case filed by 20 women who said they were denied medically-necessary abortions. Ryan Chandler reports on the fallout from the ruling. And, Kelly Wiley speaks with Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath about new educational materials developed by the state. Morath says early results show they're improving outcomes for Texas students.
