In the latest episode of the TribCast, hosts Matthew and Eleanor engage in a conversation with Jaden Edison, an education reporter for the Texas Tribune, and Ayaan Moledina, a 17-year-old student activist from Round Rock. The discussion centers around the new social studies curriculum recently approved by the State Board of Education, which has drawn criticism from various Muslim communities. The curriculum’s portrayal of Islam tends to highlight themes of violence and conflict with the West.
