- In recent years energy drinks like Red Bull and Celsius have soared in popularity, especially among teenagers and young adults. However, medical experts say these drinks can pose a significant health concern.
Earlier this month Lampasas ISD announced a ban on energy drinks at all of its campuses, joining at least one other Central Texas school district that has already taken the same step over concerns about the beverages’ effects on student health.
“What we initiated was an effort to try and curtail the large number of energy drinks children are using and abusing to be honest with you,” said Lampasas ISD Superintendent Chane Rascoe.
The push came from the district’s Health Services Director Krista Ellis, who said she observed the effects on students firsthand.

- KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - James Talarico, the Texas Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, said he wants to turn Texas purple, not blue, as he unveiled his plan to help veterans and support the Veterans Affairs Department.
“I’m not interested in turning Texas blue. I want to win this seat to fight for all 31 million Texans - Democrat, Republican and independents,” Talarico said.
“My party talks a lot about turning Texas blue. Republicans talk a lot about keeping Texas red. I think the best color for Texas is purple. I think she would look great in purple.”
Talarico explained a “purple Texas” would lead to more competitive elections that would force politicians to better serve the public instead of resorting to “crazy” culture war issues.

- COPPERAS COVE, Texas (KWTX) - Copperas Cove Independent School District is preparing to hang hundreds of Ten Commandments posters in classrooms after receiving a donation of 640 posters from Texas Values, a conservative advocacy group.
Texas Values said it helped write Senate Bill 10, the state law that requires Texas public schools to display the Ten Commandments.
“Importantly, this doesn’t require schools to spend any kind of taxpayer dollars purchasing these posters,” said Jonathan Covey, director of policy for Texas Values. “That’s one of the reasons we’re here today to donate those posters and help make that implementation as easy as possible.”
