About this episode
The episode discusses a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship involving Texas residents and covers various Texas news topics including education and public health issues.
Two Texas residents were passengers on the cruise ship with a deadly hantavirus outbreak, according to federal health authorities, and both left the ship and returned to the U.S. before the outbreak was identified. In other news, Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that the Texas American Muslim University at Dallas, a North Texas school that advertises degree programs with Islamic studies courses, must cease operations; Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is demanding proof that school districts across the state, including three in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, are displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms, as required by a 2025 state law; and some are calling it the 'Fraud of the century.' FIFA's ticketing process is drawing the ire of fans who purchased tickets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
