Yes, good. Keep banging that drum. Surely, this hasn't been proven over and over again to be a loser issue at the polls...
But seriously, this is how they intend to solidify their hold: run off the good teachers (including the allies) to reduce the quality of education, so the voting base that's left is uneducated, feed them propaganda they no longer have the intellectual tools to question, profit.
Don't check out in November. There's a lot of seats up for grabs, and we can't let these people have a majority. Fuck theocrats.
It's a good way to get liberals to leave the state. One thing the right does 10x better than the left is long-term strategy. Liberal states may legalize marijuana or add sex education as required teaching but most are one loss away from rolling back everything. Reform of government is usually bottom of their list.
Texas should split into multiple states. There’s at least two blue states out of five in that mass of land.
Gerrymandering state boundaries won't fix anything either. The far right will beat them at that game too.
