Texas lawmakers want schools to teach kids how to behave during traffic stops

‘Texas politicians are deliberating a bill to require schools teach teenagers how to comply with police during traffic stops. The local Black Lives Matter has called the proposal “an insult,” and accused lawmakers of “trying to satisfy” police unions.
“Students need to know what their rights are. It is not as simple as “obey and complain” – it’s too simplistic,” Senator John Whitmire told the Senate Criminal Justice Committee during a three-hour hearing on Tuesday.
“We are in an emotionally sensitive time,” Whitmire told community leaders, referring to increased tensions between police and citizens around the country.’
