Those involved in our schools are busy in spring helping students, planning events and supporting teachers. They should NOT be more concerned with running in a primary than supporting our schools. Ask your senators to vote NO on SB287.

Help us keep our schools nonpartisan. Ask our senators to kill this bill that would make school board candidates identify a party affiliation and go through the primary process.

- Live somewhere other than your hometown. Reinvent yourself - Travel far & often before you have kids. Once you do, your vacation goals change and it costs you even more. - Apply for jobs that interest you, even if it doesn’t perfectly align w/your experience. You never know what could happen!

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Just when I think they can’t get any lower, they dig a deeper hole.

At the CCS Board meeting this evening. The most anticipated topic on the agenda is the demographic study, which precede a redistricting/not-redistricting decision. Will make any important happenings below.

School “choice” = defunding public schools There’s always been choice; this just means making the rich richer.

How many days until I get the stomach flu after this?

Three years ago, we broke the news that a school superintendent in Granbury, TX, ordered librarians to remove books with LGBTQ characters It led the Education Department to open a civil rights investigation It now appears the Trump admin has ended the investigation and 10 others tied to book bans

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Zuckerberg set every Facebook profile to follow Trump's account. If you needed more reason to leave the platform, there it is.

Watch this. A MAGA-aligned school board in North Texas has a plan to split the district in two. The whiter, wealthier half would remain in Keller ISD; the side with more apartments and families of color would be spun off into its own, separate district

Rep Jim Lucas, who made the news last session for flashing a gun to intimidate a student at the statehouse, files a bill to eliminate gun free zones at schools. It really sucks to be a Hoosier.

This proposed bill not only makes school board races partisan, but is also requires candidates to go through a primary. This would not only discourage many from running, but it could also drastically increase the amount of money needed to be spent to campaign. No to Senate bill 287.
