Texas American Federation of Teachers filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Texas Education Agency and its commissioner, Mike Morath, alleging the state unlawfully investigated educators for protected speech following the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah in Sept. 2025.

The survey, conducted by Texas American Federation of Teachers, comes two weeks after the Uvalde school shooting as Republicans call for more school employees to be armed.

The Texas American Federation of Teachers will hold a news conference with several Texas teachers to discuss survey results on school support amid the pandemic.
