The perpetually-funded powerful who have caused the problems continue to profit by fighting moms, dads, good legislators. Day in. Day out. They will OUTLAST your passion. They are PAID to fight you. They are EXPERTS at workarounds. They KNOW the system lacks accountability and that you can be swatted away like flies. They are not like us. #GoAtTheRoots

#EndSchoolElectioneering Hopefully it's becoming more and more clear to elected officials that it's basically now or never. You have to address this issue. Sort of like a parasite cleanse, you have to be strategic and THOROUGH. Half-measures just make them bury deeper, hide quietly, and do even MORE damage. These people you think you can charm into giving you votes are NOT your friends. They openly mock and hate you. You can make ten times the friends with the salt of the earth Texans. We cannot maintain our great state if we kow-tow to special interests hoping, "maybe they'll vote for me." They won't. Ever! They need to be perpetually mad at the good guys, until Texas becomes unrecognizable. Break the cycle. UNLEASH Texas from these ties that bind. #GoAtTheRoots #EndSchoolElectioneering #EndFraudWasteAbuse

Taxpayer-funded, too.

It’s a culture of talking points You ask them to explain. They get confused. You attempt to clarify their position. They say you are changing the subject It’s all vibes in their brain. No critical thinking anywhere to be found

97% chance she attended a public school for 13 years. Countrymen PAID to ensure she was educated for two main reasons: To ensure our blessings of liberty continue and help her participate in society to the fullest if she chooses. She has a world of information available to her but was obviously passed and allowed to graduate without the ability to formulate a non-talking-point utterance about a very BASIC economic concept. This is shameful. How many BILLIONS are we pouring down the drain? Then nothing but "it's the parents' fault" when all the parents know is "my kids gets Bs." (In THEIR day, that meant something, so the parent's frame of reference understandably leads to a faulty assumption that acquisition of knowledge is happening.) Education is one of the 4 top national security issues of today, and by the time it is recognized, it will be too late. @EDSecMcMahon @SecRubio @POTUS @SecWar Very grateful the admin just dealt with college level Confucius Institute/similar. But they are/were in TX high schools, too. IMO Confucius classrooms in high schools warrant @FBIDirectorKash INVESTIGATIONS of the administrators and teachers pushing these programs and deceiving locals about them as "language and culture."
this is such a wild trend: 100% conviction 0% comprehension it's a magic word cult. they do not even understand what the words they are speaking mean. they think they are magic spells that make people have to agree with them and that silence dissent. this is the sort of empty headed addle brained identity that emerges from years of cosseted cancel culture. they argue by assertions they cannot even explain, much less defend. it can only sustain itself by suppressing debate and discussion. it disintegrates like sugar sculpture in a thunderstorm when challenged or asked to explain itself. keep pushing. this is the fun part.

Researchers asked 85 college English majors to read the first seven paragraphs of Dickens' Bleak House and explain them in plain English. They were allowed to use dictionaries and their phones. Only 5% understood what they read. 58% got lost. These were English majors. About half were training to become English teachers. That study was done in 2015. Kids in K-12 today have had ten more years of SEL, equity and "belonging" crowding out reading. How do you think they're doing? Read hard books with your kids. Don't wait for the school to do it.

Get rid of these programs that bring in foreign workers at the expense of young Americans. We stopped H-1Bs at our universities in Florida and other states should follow suit.
The tech job market is collapsing for young grads Yet universities continue to lobby to flood the job market with OPT and H-1B entry-level workers to undercut their own grads chronicle.com/article/the-co…

FORT WORTH ISD trustees voted to terminate North Side High School teacher/golf coach Jesus Sanchez Ontiveros “for good cause.” Sanchez has 15 days to appeal. Meanwhile, @FortWorthISD says he “remains an employee of the District on administrative leave.” @NorthSideFWISD parents say school officials have not communicated with them about the coach’s leave or termination, and neither the district nor Principal De La Cruz responded to Scorecard’s question on that subject… texasscorecard.com/local/for… @TexasEd911 @0riettaRose #TxEd #TXLege

Beautiful!
What Do Large Families Know That You Don't? Last week we went on an epic fall break. But what will stay with me most isn’t the Mosaic Canyon hike or the volcanic islands. It’s what I learned watching my brother and his wife parent their family of eight. They squeeze so much life out of every day. They fill every space they’re in - even narrow canyon trails - with the most beautiful noise. It’s loud and intense, but their laughter and love take up a lot of space. here’s something special about large families - and not just my brother’s. Last year, I interviewed five other big-family parents for my podcast. They are like parenting gurus: not because they have it all figured out, but because daily life gives them plenty of practice. Here are the lessons I’ve learned from large families - and he habits I’m bringing home♥️clarified.life/p/what-large-…

Fraud comes in many forms and hurts our society. Walk with us here. What is your opinion? If grade inflation is rampant in a district, and good grades help kids exempt from end of course exams, then why does Texas allow EOC exemptions? 🤑🤑🤑 For those who don't know, the other 1/2 is good attendance. 🤑🤑🤑 It begs a similar, more pointed, question: If ISDs are paid based on attendance, but students' true grades are low, is grade inflation partially to make EOC an attendance driving-force because kids would skip class if their grades were accurate? Facts: Grade inflation is a FRAUD (against parents and taxpayers). It is a THEFT (from kids). Morally & practically speaking: How is "you can skip the hard stuff" preparing anyone for college, career or military? Big picture: We are creating a WEAK populace. #txlege What do you think?

Homes belong to families, not mega-corporations. The Trump Administration is fighting for American families by implementing Section 1001 of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act which restricts large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes.

Will this matter to K-12 schools who have or are still taking money for Confucius Classrooms in our Texas Public schools? Do lawmakers understand the importance of prohibiting foreign influence and ideologies that conflict with our constitutional republic, and love for America!? We say we honor our veterans. Do we do that by ho-humming CCP in our high schools? Side topic: Let's codify that superintendency eligibility includes military commanders+. Arguably FAR more relevant to the job than a person whose whole career was in the pub ed system.
The War Department has designated Confucius Institutes as a threat to our national security.

HOW It Started | HOW It’s Going Former BELTON ISD “Teacher of the Year” Pietro Giustino was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison after pleading GUILTY to possessing child sexual abuse material that included prepubescent minors. Feds found THOUSANDS of CSAM images on his devices… as well as videos of Belton High School girls that led to state charges of invasive visual recording. Giustino had taught in @BeltonISD since 2011 and traveled off-campus with students to school-related events… texasscorecard.com/local/fed… @TexasEd911 @0riettaRose #TxEd #TXLege

Incentivizing good guys is quite refreshing.
See something? Speak up. Report suspected fraud at america.gov/fraud. Your tip can help protect taxpayer dollars — and if it leads to criminal charges, you may qualify for a cash reward. Do your part for America.

A "keep your head down and mouth shut and you keep your job" attitude has no place inside our school system. A society that protects its children is a society worth having. End ALL NDAs. End All non-disparagement clauses. End ALL retaliation. INCENTIVIZE blowing the whistle - give staff LEGAL AID. Texas leaders can take a fantastic idea from "Project Safe Schools" - make the offer time-limited. Give them until Christmas morning to turn in every single covered-up crime - from fraud to grooming to targeting parents who speak up. Let's clean up Pub Ed and make Texas Schools Texan Again! @KenPaxtonTX @mayes_middleton @GovHotWheels_TX
The environment in most public schools is set up in ways that can enable this type of abuse. Most adults intuitively understand that for every predator who is caught, many more remain unnamed and in the shadows. The number of predators uncovered in public schools should not be normalized; it should continue to outrage communities and prompt demands that schools prioritize protections for children over the interests of predators. @TrueTexasTea @TexasEd911 @Bentley4Texas @pfisd

🚨 NEW: Kaylub Giamanco, the HERO father who TOOK OUT the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooter last week, tells the story for the first time "I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do." "I have to go in. People are going to die." "I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs." "And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go." "And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I'd seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle." "And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired." This man deserves the Presidential Medal of FREEDOM! 🇺🇸

Ban fluoride from being added into our water. Filter out hormones, plastics and viruses. Water is life, unless the govt makes it otherwise. Christian lawmakers who have studied the Holy Bible see "water" as powerful, and not just a symbol, throughout Salvation history. God has given you the chance to serve Him by placing you in office. Don't let the opportunity evaporate. Look around at all the problems we have. Including in education. Do some research. Talk to @RobertKennedyJr @DrOz Clean up the Texas drinking water. #GoAtTheRoots
