The destruction of America's public education system

What a horrible horrible situation. Abbott wants to not only tear down hisd, but the entire damn city 

It’s punishment for the city voting for the opposition party.
It’s not more complicated than that. Disloyalty to The Regime must be punished. This is the way; read any book on how authoritarian regimes work, and you’ll see this on about page 5.

How could you think otherwise?  It is why it is immoral to vote for republicans in any capacity.   A long time ago I used to think that the R/D agenda was largely towards a better future but they just disagreed on the path to get there.   Then I realized they never gave a flying fuck about our future.

AtomHeart has been arguing for a while now that Harris County is big enough that it could flip statewide elections all by itself if turnout was higher, so that might have been what he meant but I hesitate to speak for him.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13493]

I keep reading stories, no links, about Houston area school districts having to cut staff because of budget constraints. But we were told that the new property tax laws weren't going to impact the education of our children.  That lie didn't last 1 year.

It's almost like it was the goal of one party to decimate public education so that the masses would turn towards private education which has the ability to indoctrinate kids regarding religion and their stance on cultural issues. but that couldn't be the truth, right?

[Nivek 16913]

Miles' puppet quoted their efforts to improve special education.   I saw how with one of my kids.  They simply made up numbers in his progress report.  We asked them to provide evidence and they could not.   One of his SPED teachers fakes grades for him.  He has 100% and yet the dyslexia teacher can show ZERO work.   An independent auditor told me the kid watches youtube and fucks off in that class.  

They also talked about their initiatives to identify more kids with special needs and what a great job they were doing.  My other kid was not identified by the school or district for having dyslexia.  I identified it.  A fucking trained rock scientist.  

But they are doing great.   So they tell us.

Trump beat Biden in Texas by 630,000 votes.

In Harris County, in the 2020 election, there were 2.5 million registered voters, and 1.6 million voted.

This is why Abbott and Paxton want to take over everything they can in Harris County, with an emphasis on voting.

In Dallas County, in 2020, there were 1.4 million registered voters, and 915,000 voted, so not enough there by itself, and arguably Dallas is not being targeted as hard in general fuckery like Harris is.  Bexar County has about the same amount of non-voters.  Travis has 250,000 who didn’t vote.

Now if Dallas, Harris, Austin, and San Antonio all upped their voter turnout, it would not only flip the state, but do so decisively.

One of the two principals-of-the-year that they fired

https://cw39.com/news/local/hisd-parents-protest-after-crockett-elementary-school-principal-terminated/

Quote

 Based on comments and posts online, Crockett Elementary School’s principal, Dr. Alexis Clark was terminated days ago due to no probable cause. 

This is not the first string of concerns for the Crockett Elementary School community. Staff said that in an emergency staff meeting at the school, Dr. Clark read a script saying that she was being removed. Staff also say that higher-ups were in the room during the statement but refused to answer teacher and staff questions.

Quote

In hopes of their voices being heard, parents and staff gathered yesterday to make signs to use during the protest Monday morning. In a statement to Facebook, the Crockett Community stated “At this time, we need to come together as a community of parents and support our school. We are asking that you all keep your children home on Monday in protest of the firing.

Anger continues to rise from not just parents and students, but from lawmakers over the HISD job cuts. State Rep. Jarvis Johnson (D-Houston) has now joined several groups asking for superintendent Mike Miles to resign.

Meanwhile, the Texas legislature had billions in surplus dollars, and left education dollars (state and federal) on the table that all of these districts could use.  Firing your best principals and a lot of what appears to be random staff/teachers is not how you make up a budget shortfall.

It's just weird that you single out harris county. It's a Texas wide problem. But becuase techincally there's enouh people to flip a state if 100% voted in Harris, it's a "Harris County Voter Problem." That's fucking stupid, for several reasons, but the largest reason is that there will never be 100% voter turnout. Even if we made voting MANDATORY by law, and ushered in penalties for NOT voting, there still wouldn't be 100% voter turnout.

Abbott has singled out HISD to be the poster child of gut the public system and setup his charter network. HISD is the front line and technically has enough voters to say stop. Abbott has also punished Harris in a personal vendetta for past 4+ years.  I don't think it's weird at all.

It's weird that he frames it as Harris County's responsibility to save the rest of Texas. Becuase to overturn these changes would require, literally, a sweep of statewide offices and honestly a fuck ton of individual state representatives. It would need to be a blue wave all over Texas. But, you know, it's Harris County's problem to fix all of Texas. I looked up the voting percentages for Harris and Dallas and the state of Texas from the secretary of State. Give or take a few percentage points, Harris County votes in line with the rest of Texas at about 60% during presidential election years, and around 40% during non-presidential years. Harris County is being attacked vigorously, yes, and maybe that will galvanize voters this election year, we'll see. But at the end of the day, this isn't a uniquely Harris County Problem, it's a Texas problem. And I take some exception with framing it as "Harris County needs to fix the rest of Texas so it can fix HISD" when 1) the expectaiton for 90-100% turnout is wildly unrealistic to the point of absurdity to make this happen and 2) it lets the rest of Texas off the hook. Don't worry, Abbott is going to fuck everyone else too, but lets frame it as a Harris County problem.

You are being a tad touchy. It's not like AB said the Houston Rockets should eat a bag of dicks. He is pointing out the fact that Harris county is the biggest dog voting wise in the state and it's a major reason Harris county has been targeted. AB made it a point that the big 4 cities combined could make a difference with higher turnout.

Harris County is being singled out by Abbott and Paxton. Even you don’t deny that they are being singled out.

As I said, it would be great if Travis, Dallas, and Bexar counties joined in with upping their voting, since they could wreck the GOP in Texas, but they aren’t feeling the kind of pressure that is being exerted in Harris County. In a normal world, Republicans and Democrats in Harris County would join in helping to kick our Dear Leaders out of office, or at least make a big push in that direction, in order to keep Paxton and Abbott from wrecking the county.  They could definitely put them on notice.

Now why are Abbott and Paxton (and Goeb) going so hard in the paint on Harris County?  Why are they putting people like Miles in charge of the school district, when he has conflicts of interest and clearly does not give a fuck about the actual students and schools?  In this instance, it sounds like grift.  Biggest county, biggest school district, biggest opportunity for grift.  Wreck the public district and increase pressure for vouchers for private schools.

But why are they trying to remove control of voting in Harris County and move it the state level?  Why are they trying to make it harder to vote in Harris County?  You could make the argument that it was about putting Republicans in charge, because again, biggest county, biggest opportunity for grift, but they seem to have a fear about the voters there, that they don’t have elsewhere in the state (not even the People’s Republic of Travis County).  Almost like they are afraid that the voters might realize what they are doing to Harris County and might show up in larger numbers (or switch or sit the election out).

I wouldn't count most of them as suburns of Harris County. Not that Katy and whatnot don't have their own issues, but those are all school board related. This is different. All kinds of school districts are being porked in the Houston area right now. Spring Branch, even Memorial are suffering issues. But those aren't HISD. But to your point, no one was moving to "these areas" for the schools. If anything, there were just a few outliers in HISD that still had good schools that are now being violently buttfucked by the dildo of GOP retribution. Oak Forest, etc.

Having lived and went to school in Fort Bend County many years ago, I can remember in our subdivision and school, it seemed like about three quarters of the kids were not from the Houston area, with a lot of them being from out-of-state or rural areas (thanks to an oil boom).  At winter vacation or spring break, everybody would scatter to other states or other parts of Texas to visit relatives (or we went to Galveston and pretended that was what spring break was really about).  The topic came up at our 20th high school reunion when we were talking about who still lived in the area, and it was interesting how most of us had no connection to the area other than our parents picked it for the schools (while they commuted into Houston proper). Our parents got transferred to Houston by their employers or took a job in Houston, and that was it, and most of our parents had already moved elsewhere 20 years later, either for retirement or job reasons or whatever.  Tom DeLay was my Representative back then.

I see it now hen visiting in-laws and one of my sisters in Montgomery County.  It’s a lot of people from outside of the Houston area moving there and commuting from that area into Harris County/Houston.

The HISD bullshit is somewhat unique, but there is social and financial pressure being applied to most larger districts by Abbott and the Legislature’s actions (or inaction as it were).  Hell, Paxton has lawsuits against multiple counties/districts.

Of course they're being singled out. And you're never going to get 90% voter turnout to vote the way to fix the problem. So even framing it like it's incombent on Harris County to achieve that to fix this problem is stupid. 

It's a Texas problem. Everything else you've said I generally agree with, and is somewhat independant of the idea that Harris County can solve this problem for everyone. Hell, even you said, they're taking serious voter suppression tactics to ensure that Harris County can't, in fact, solve this problem even if they get the turnout they want, which will never happen. 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13493]

A problem with organizing the Houston/Harris vote is that there is no organization. While I'm sure that Harris and even Texas have a Democrat party, I don't know if either does anything other than small grass root efforts. They don't appear to have a budget or spokespeople to lead an drive. 

Beto is still the main Democrat voice in Texas especially because he can still get booked on national news/talk shows. Hidalgo probably has the pull to get some attention but she hasn't pursued that option. I'm unsure that widespread public speaking is her strength.

When I entered high school, there were three high schools in the district, and 35 years later there are 12 with more planned. It’s not because of kids that moved there in the 80s and 90s stuck around and popped out a bunch of kids either.

I think you have the point I was attempting to make backwards. Because while folks might be moving into The Heights, or Oak Forest, or even the rarer places like Bellaire to live in close proximity for schools, no one (except Bellaire) is moving to those areas FOR the schools. They're willing to stomach the schools. People used to move to Oak Forest for schools, but probably not anymore more. Now schools are something those people will tolerate for location to other things. 

The places you're talking about that have grown from 3 schools to 12 (Cy fair, Katy) aren't HISD. They're their own thing. So they aren't suffering the unique HISD issues being discussed. You said people were moving to The Woodlands, Katy, Cy Fair for the schools. I, as a child of Klein when it was a highly ranked educational district, understand this. I was saing no one has moved to HISD for the schools. We were basically saying the same thing. Below is a map of HISD.
