Flynn Seeks More Constitutional Teaching in Schools

VAN – Lawmakers are stacking up bills for consideration in the next legislative session that would change what kids are taught, and one East Texan is weighing in. Bills have been filed to ban tracking devices in student IDs; another measure would allow districts to avoid the STAAR test. There’s even a measure that would mandate the teaching of sign language for the deaf. But Van Republican Dan Flynn wants something more basic. Flynn says many high school students have very limited knowledge of the Constitution, and he’d like to see that change.
