Thank you, Lone Star Left, for this insightful article (as always!) on a horrendous proposal that is terrible for kids and parents. I’d like to let your readers know that a public forum on school vouchers is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, February 9, featuring panelists from the state legislature, education, and stakeholders. The forum will take place in Cedar Park. Here’s a link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MdWypAaiB/

One more reason vouchers could topple public education: When public school officials are forced to prepare to block ICE from barging in their schools and nabbing children, everyone is distracted and worried. High-stakes testing results might suffer--"See! Kids aren't learning! That's proof public education does not work!" I'd like to know how many private schools ICE will visit. Kidding. That was a joke.

Me and my drinking buddies are planning a Jimmy Buffet themed private school.....we would like to re-introduce Valley Speak and Surfer Jargon back into the curriculim. Lots of time off for board sports. Tests optional. Shirts optional.
