Exclusive Interview: Texas State Senator Angela Paxton Talks Family, Education, and Protecting Kids from Inappropriate Content with The Texas Insider reporter Relentless Bill Robinson! (The first of a Texas Insider series on Texas public schools)
“It’s come at last,” she thought, “the time when you can no longer stand between your children and heartache.”

Texas Moms watch their children like hawks. They have to; it’s genetic. Sometimes, however, Texans think that the societal, institutional and governmental horrors sweeping America won’t come to the great, American republic of Texas.
But think again.
Just like the rest of America, it’s clear that many Texas public schools are plagued with obscene books, indoctrinating teachers and sexually active adults secretly convincing children that they are the opposite sex. God knows what else.
In Lubbock, there were 22 attempted suicides last year alone. Are we to believe that absolutely none of these attempts resulted in at least one death? Lubbock, according to a national healthcare company analysis, has the highest rate of attempted suicides of children between the ages of 6 to 17.
In Asheville, North Carolina, there were seven suicides of young Christian-Conservative girls between January 1st and May 12th of last year. In North Carolina as a whole, suicide has nearly tripled in the last 20 years and is up 103% between 2022 and 2023. The number of school child suicides is certainly understated because of the different death classifications by the coroners, school boards and media.
Local press is blaming this ugly pattern on the local economy, traditional bullying, pandemic lockdowns, drugs, depression and most of all, the parents. Everything but the public schools and what’s happening inside them is increasingly an ideological prison for minors.
School boards act apathetic and do nothing. Now they are being sued widely for wrongful deaths of children related to bullying,
Terrifyingly, parents across the country are seeing these clusters of raw, human, suicide-grief grow and spread. Many feel this is not unintended but a result of the “We’re coming for your children” menace.
Meanwhile, back in the schoolroom; the competency scores of children across the country are plummeting. This is the inviolable obligation public schools have. Overall, they are not teaching the basics much less preparing America’s children for adult life.
We spoke to Texas State Senator Angela Paxton, a Mom, Grandma, busy legislator for the people of her district and wife to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton about what’s going on in the Lone Star state’s public schools.
It’s no surprise that the Senator has spent much of her time since her election in 2019 concentrating on education. A former Collin County teacher and guidance counselor, Paxton exudes a warmth about children that is as authentic as it gets. 
In September of last year, the Senator became the Texas Senate Majority Leader, increasing her influence and ability to get things done.
We conducted a video interview with Senator Paxton discussing what she is doing legislatively to help children.
The centerpiece of this interview is her metaphorical parable about moms protecting their children from predators in the jungle at night. I call this her “Flashlight Story.”
One of the most important bills the Senator sponsored was on children’s access to Pornography. Texas House Bill (HB) 1181 required porn purveyors to verify the age of those entering their sites.
Starting with Pornhub and continuing to Chaturbate and xHamster, Attorney General Ken Paxton has made a crusade out of protecting our children from porn inside and outside of public schools. There’s little doubt about who his closest partner is working with him on key protections for children and parents in this state.
The pornographic sites’ owners have sued and won and sued but lost again, then opted to shut down access to their sites in Texas.
It appeared HB 1181 might go to the US Supreme Court which was deciding whether to hear the case. The case had been called “one of the most important legal showdowns ever.” In a clear case of the good guys winning, SCOTUS refused to hear the case or block the law from being enforced.
These child protections from porn are crucial.
Children are haranguing their parents earlier and earlier to get them a smartphone. It used to be that 12 or 13 was a reasonable threshold to get one’s child a cell phone. Not anymore. Kids as young or younger than eight and nine are showing up proudly with the best technology in their peer group.
As more and more teachers are being arrested for being in possession of child porn and even sharing it with young students, it’s clear this kind of activity leads to the sexual abuse of our children.
Right now, in public schools across our country, reports indicate some demonic teachers are showing young children how to access porn on their smartphones. They then show them how to clean up their browser histories so their parents won’t find out.
This is the kind of digital-device assault Angela Paxton is seeking to stop. The Senator has also focused on ending the sweeping secrecy pact teachers have impelled between the children and their parents.
This page right out of the pedophiles’ playbook, has been used by teachers and administrators for keeping secrets from parents about everything from pronoun pins, obscene books, Trans/Queer/Furrie intimidation and bullying to school staffs’ arranging of “counseling sessions,” prescriptions for puberty blockers and surgical consults with doctors leading to disfiguring irreversible surgeries. All without a whisper to parents.
In North Carolina, the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” passed last year with teachers and school boards resisting its implementation and enforcement. It’s a real battle inside school board meetings across the state.
Texas moms: Now is the time your children need you most. Talk to them, make sure they tell you what’s happening and are not afraid of any adults at their school.
Today, our kids are more threatened than ever before. They are stressed out beyond belief, controlled by their devices and are being manipulated into keeping secrets of the information parents need.
Moms, parents and grandparents all need to be more involved. Go to school board meetings, insist on sitting down with your child’s teachers, guidance counselors and principals. Talk to their librarians.
Those hurting our children and giving them a less than decent and solid education going forward need a massive, national group of Moms & Dads to defeat them ala Loudon County, Virginia 2020. The fighting spirit of Texas moms like Angela Paxton that keeps our children safe.
“Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.”
