Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - We Need a Kicker the Way Kathy Lee Need Regis
This is good news, IMO - didn't see any path to the field for this guy. Would've been much more Savea than Lole/Norton. -

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
So, the cowards at AISD dropped a bomb in parent's lap last night, as a reaction to the assholes at the state dropping the initial bomb on them late yesterday (all conveniently right before a holiday weekend to avoid all the angry phone calls, etc.). All of this conveniently happening the same day school vouchers passed the state house. The state is finally making a move on AISD due to the shittastic performance of Dobie. It's insane that our laws allows for one bad school to take down an entire district, especially when that school is struggling, in part, due to actions taken by the state. The cowards in AISD administration, by way of the school board, are desperately trying to save their jobs (because if they state takes over they'll all be gonzo) by closing Dobie and moving all ~550 students over to Lamar Middle School, which is already overcrowded to the point I don't understand how it passes fire code. They haven't said it officially, but this will likely kill off the fine arts academy at Lamar as well, as they can push the kids that aren't zoned for Lamar out to make room for the Dobie kids. Which, ironically, will also push many of the academically excelling kids out of the school and further lower Lamar's numbers and rating. This is shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic, but I'll never understand the mindset of "fixing" bad schools by simply moving underperforming kids into a school with high-performing kids in order to bring test averages up to just about passing. That is protecting jobs, not better educating kids. AISD has failed these kids at Dobie miserably, and their solution is to ruin a school that is at least functional, and thereby make education terrible for even more children. Fuck every last one of these feckless assholes. They tried to bring back busing, of all the stupid ideas proven repeatedly not to work, before the pandemic in an attempt to do the same thing. The entire administrative staff, starting with the sawed off little piece of shit superintendent, should be fired yesterday. The school board is a collection of well intentioned but ultimately braindead progressives who will happily destroy shit just to make things appear to be okay. They will do precisely what they did during the last debate over bussing, and just accuse anyone opposed to their self serving plan of being a racist, because that's all they've got. Not actual plan, no concern for any of these kids, just ass covering bull shit. If you have kids in AISD, pay very close attention to what is happening, as this is just the first big domino to fall. The state will be taking over the district at some point, and nobody wants that, especially after seeing what those crooks have done with HISD, but at this point I'm wondering if it can really be any worse than the spineless, self-serving assholes running AISD currently (to be very clear, I'm not talking about teachers, principals, or anyone else who spends time educating children daily, just the dumbfucks in charge). There was already a mass exodus of kids from AISD happening before the pandemic. The pandemic sped it up tremendously, and this next step will be the biggest backbreaker of all. The only positive that may come of this is that 3+ bedroom homes may drop in price as a bunch of them will be going on the market in Austin soon as families get the fuck out. Of course, that's bad news for any current families desperate to get the hell out of what is quickly becoming a nightmare scenario for the kids. There aren't enough private schools in the city to take in all these kids, and of course most parents can't afford it anyway even with the governor's new welfare for rich parents program. So, lots of people are going to just have to live with the knowledge that they are stuck in an overpriced city sending their kids to an overcrowded and unsafe school where they will not receive much of any kind of education. We are living in weird times. -

Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
He opposes it, but it isn't a big deal because it doesn't affect him personally (yet). I'm in no fucking mood to coddle fuck sticks like that.
