Fort Worth ISD children begging adults not to defund and layoff their speech therapy, disability services, special ed staff. The voucher scam Abbott puppet board voted unanimously 9 to 0 against the children's needs. We need all hands on a NO CONFIDENCE REJECTION of this illegitimate unelected board

For anyone who hasn't been paying attention to public education for the past 20 years, the seeds have been planted long ago, and now they will harvest the crop. And you don't need to be an oracle to see what the next 20 years will bring.
Criticize public education for societal failures driven largely by income inequality
create a parallel faux public education system (for-profit charters)
set up a rigged game where the charters can effectively hand-pick their students, then "prove" how much better they are than neighborhood schools
reallocate resources from neighborhood schools, leaving only poor kids, kids with special needs, and behavioral issues there.
push everyone into for-profit charters and religious private schools.
teachers have zero security, and must toe the ideological line demanded by the school
students are terrified of speaking up about any issue, for fear of being relegated to their defunded neighborhood school

They’ve been pissed off about Brown versus Board of Education since 1954. This is their way around it. I truly don’t understand what type of society these people wanna live in where a huge part of the population is poor and uneducated. It’s just not a good place to live even for the ultra rich.

Republicans get off on videos like this.

Thanks friendo. You've convinced me to change my views.

Unfortunately as corrupt as Texas government is, unless someone has enough money to “persuade” the board, nothing will change.

We need to vote out everyone associated with supporting this with prejudice. They will never get elected again. We need to boycott all businesses associated with any of these state appointed take over members. We need MASS turnout at every board meeting, with every speaker giving a NO CONFIDENCE REJECTION of the board. One day, we reject their entry and continue the board meeting WITHOUT THEM, with our own representatives, with the first motion being firing the board, revoking their salaries, and forcing any money paid to be clawed back to the schools.

Texas has become a sad sad joke. And I’m not laughing
