Schools were also directed to cancel or change celebrations of the late civil rights leader amid allegations of sexual abuse.

The Texas Education Agency has named former Assistant Attorney General Levi Fuller as the state’s first Inspector General of Educator Misconduct – this as Texas toughens education policies.
