Oh yeah. They used to not be shy about that.
This was the deal.
Any bony protuberance like an the back of your head, hand, elbow or knee cap was shockingly painful.
Speaking of reversing DEI and wokeism in general, specifically by unwinding influence from various state sponsors and authorities, Texas appears to be close to passing a school voucher law.
Essentially this diverts public funding from public ISDs to private schools, and gives parents who prefer private but donât have the budget an option to choose.
A. This initiative allows broader taxation representation
B. This also neuters concentrated social program indoctrination efforts.
The article is written as if itâs a bad thing, but the sentiment comes from a teachers union, which of course is self-serving. Loss of funding isnât good for them. But, the underlying issue discussed is an important one to follow.
The state took over the Houston school district last year after decades of failure by local leaders. Everything improved almost immediately, but most of the parents are pissed and resentful that they canât vote in the same trash they always have to run things. Screw their kids, they just want to vote for people who look like them.

School choice is a misnomer at best and a lie at worst. You donât get to choose where your child goes to school under school choice; the schools have to accept your child. This is a money grab. You will see schools open up offering a âprivateâ education but there will be no transparency in spite of them getting public funds. Think Kanye Westâs school. There is already a shortage of people who want to become teachers. Take away unions and the benefits and protections they demand for their members and youâll see teachers who have a HS diploma at best. Imagine the quality of police officer and fireman you would get if their unions were dissolved.
Politicians make the decisions that ruin communities. They want to scapegoat schools and teachers rather than take accountability for their role in societyâs problems.
This is different than school choice. Also, it brings up the question of who should have a say in education, the parents or some âexpertsâ who donât live in the community.
Yeah, the Houston teacher union in the article just made me think about it.
We already have some amazing public charter schools here that are free. I donât think the vouchers will actually help any poor people send their kids to private school. It will still be too expensive. Itâs a give away to rich donors.
Youâre allowing limited talking points to overshadow the entire conversation.
In a nutshell, tax paying parents will have at least some choice in not just how but where their taxes are spent, and this allows them to have broader choices for their childrenâs education.
Iâm actually encouraged that it wonât degrade the integrity of private schools, but will make them available to children who can earn a spot but whose parents may not be able to pay tuition otherwise.
And it creates opportunities for fly by night operations. I saw this with daycare in the ghetto. They get the necessary paperwork done and present a passable location. Then it turns to crap, the place gets dirty and there is a lack of hygiene. Corners are cut and itâs a hazard to children.
In the ghetto?
Its a new era! We should team up and just complain about masks and social distancing in schools.
The bright side of remote learning was that once the kids were allowed back, some of the shittier ones never returned.

And then inspectors come in, and if there are real issues they are addressed or the place is closed.
While abuses happen, itâs not all doom and gloom. And we donât have to let occasional clouds completely bury the sun.
If you believe the public school system is infallible as an alternative, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. Reference the Houston ISD comments for context.
For DEI irony, I probably lost some local friends when I made the observation that Maine Klu Klux Klan policy implementation has gone up 100 percent since hiring our DEI coordinator.
DEI in Maine is in part justified because of our âhistory of systemic racismâ. Our new DEI coordinator in Lewiston even got to put a false historical narrative on the townâs website that gives people very untrue impressions about Maineâs history, including the minor flash in the pan that was the Maine Klan.
Maineâs Klan history is highlighted as evidence of racism but there was only one specific government policy they were supporting, which was to stop giving Catholic schools public money of any kind. A governor ran and won on it with Klan support but the policy was never implementedâŠ
Not until 100 years later, when Democrats succeeded in passing the exact same public policy in 2022. Unsurprisingly, our local NPR stooges do not point out that this was the primary policy priority of the KKK in Maine in the 1920âs.
