Have You Heard heads to fast-growing north Texas for a first-hand look at how support for public education is upending the state’s politics. Spoiler: GOP candidates are scrambling to paint themselves as lovers of public schools and their teachers. But does their new-found love translate into actual policy?

Part of our series on education and politics in 2020, this episode captures a trend with major implications for Texas and beyond. Transcript available here.
