The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: In the 10 days after the election of Donald Trump, nearly 900 incidents of harassment and intimidation were reported around the country. In a nationwide survey, educators report the election results have had a negative impact on students. 

KERA’s Stella Chavez looks into the findings released Tuesday. 

Other stories this afternoon:

  • Bob Schieffer has spent decades reporting on Washington for CBS. The Texas Christian University alum returned to his alma mater Tuesday – to speak about what he learned during the election, and what to expect during a Donald Trump administration. You can hear our full conversation with Bob Schieffer during Morning Edition on Friday. 

  • KERA’s series One Crisis Away: Rebuilding A Life—a look at four families still trying to recover from last year’s Christmas weekend tornadoes. Single mom Jennifer Anderson thinks she’s endured her fair share of tragedy. She lost her husband to suicide, and then last year’s tornado ripped her Garland apartment to pieces. As Courtney Collins reports, that’s something she struggles with, even a year later.
