isn't it because it's only Texas that has the crazy law where that education board can say "it is illegal for schools in our state to buy textbooks if they don't cover our dumb pet issues"?

If the Texas school board's goal is to create Texans who will keep voting for right wing shitheads then they have already failed in a sense, because the majority of native born Texan voters voted for Beto.

I assume that is the goal of Texas education at the state level. until 93% of those students, especially nowadays, reckon that somethings pretty hosed up when their family is clearly part of the working poor and that the american dream just can't tread water anymore is a hollow ball of hate

His family has been here since the beginning I tell you hwut. Not like Ted Cruz, who was born in *shudders* Canada."
