Preparing For 2023... Looking Back On 2022

As we ring in the New Year, the Sunday News Digest looks back on the top story lines of 2022 – all of which will be driving the action in 2023. 

As parents lead the charge against taxpayer-funded grooming and indoctrination, members of the public education establishment are digging in their heels.

Following President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021, the number of illegal border crossings immediately increased, hitting Texas’ border especially hard. “The Texas border will only be secured once our state leaders decide to do it themselves.”

This year, “all-ages” or “kid-friendly” drag shows exploded in Texas. Now, disturbing and increasingly vulgar drag shows are popping up throughout the state. However, they are not unopposed.

For more than a year, Texas Scorecard has chronicled multiple scandals at the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD). Accusations of domestic violence, school board cover-ups, and teachers assaulting students have dogged the supposedly “safe and suburban” district in the northern suburbs of Austin.

During the past year, Texas parents have grown increasingly concerned about the public education system sexualizing children by exposing students to sex-related topics and explicit materials that are inappropriate for school-age kids. Even more disturbing is the latest string of school employees charged with sex crimes against students.

A spotlight was turned on Texas’ once beloved H-E-B grocery store chain, as the company and its leftist CEO were exposed for sponsoring far-left causes.

The Texas Scorecard Journalism Fellowship is a comprehensive program designed for conservative Texans under the age of 25 with an interest in public policy, effective civic engagement, political accountability, and Texas history.
