As a continuation of our Monday Morning Campaign Update series, Kevin and Jad talk about some of the interesting candidate questionnaires Kevin has been receiving on the campaign trail.
The short of the story is that while most of the groups seem project one message, the reality is that they’re usually after something entirely different. For example, the Texas Home School Coalition was very interested in Kevin’s position on gay marriage and abortion. Of course we remain entirely unclear how those have anything to do with home schooling or education in general.
We spend a lot of the episode talking about the Association of Texas Professional Educators, better known as ATPE. They are an education group that, to their credit, provided Kevin with a very fair platform to voice his thoughts.
