In a new Second Reading Podcast, Jim Henson and Josh Blank look at results from a battery of public education questions in the latest University of Texas/Texas Politics Project Poll and discuss what they tell us about Republican-led efforts to shift the focus of the discussion of public education policy in Texas.
