Also this hour: We learn what a recent investigation by the Texas Observer tells us about when and why school districts across the state choose to have students ages 10-12 arrested for on-campus incidents and discuss how school leaders make those decisions.
Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And Houston singer/songwriter Kam Franklin performs live in studio.
