Political Pursuits: The Podcast, hosted by Lou Ann Anderson, takes a look at the political gamesmanship pursued throughout our country, throughout even our world. We curate political news and current events – and do it with an eye for not just who is making certain moves, but also for what the moves mean, why they matter and how an opponent might react.
For better or worse, all of these characteristics are trackable and in evidence with regard to the gamesmanship seen in today’s political landscapes. We hope you’ll join us at Political Pursuits as we offer our bent on how today’s issues are impacted in this game-playing environment.
Look for new episodes most Mondays and Thursdays.
The game is afoot!

TISD Bond Election: No Place for Candor?
Election Day is approaching. On Tuesday, Nov. 2, Temple ISD voters will weigh in on doubling school taxpayers’ current financial liability. Lou Ann discusses her recent Temple Daily Telegram Letter to the Editor which outlined three reasons to vote no. The paper edited out one of the reasons which noted TISD promoting an ADL-sponsored curriculum that has “strong commonality with Critical Race ideology” and asked “should ‘woke’ schools be rewarded with more taxpayer dollars?” Seems concerned parents might have some homework to do.

TISD: An Agent in Radical Social Order Reform?
The Temple Independent School District proudly promotes its participation in the Anti-Defamation League-sponsored No Place for Hate program. A deep dive into components of this program reveal it to be Critical Race Theory packaged under a different name. The Coordinator Handbook and Resource Guide reads as a community organizer’s social justice operations manual. Lou Ann discusses this and other information pulled from the NPFH website. TISD is currently asking voters to approve $174.9 million in bond packages which, with interest, will land closer to $260 million. When added to existing debt ($264.7 million), the new debt would basically double school taxpayers’ financial liability. Is now the time to reward TISD for accumulating debt AND indoctrinating our students?

TISD Performance: Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
