“Ultimately, this is an issue of local control and deciding who should be setting the policies, goals and expectations of our school district,” Poole wrote.

This in a state that banned COVID related mandates by local governments, passed a law allowing the state to interfere in Houston elections (a Democratic stronghold), and took over Texas' largest school district (Houston ISD) - firing librarians and turning school libraries into "disciplinary centers". They also rushed to use eminent domain to seize land for Trump's border wall.

The article links to a reddit post, which has been deleted - so not sure of the source data.

Open question to anyone: how much shit do you get being TST members? Do you just keep it on the downlow? I can very much imagine consequences if it got around at work, etc. Any repercussions may be illegal, but a lot of people are "ask questions later, sort it out in court if it gets there" types.

That's not the point of this article though - GOP rep. "Nobody-wants-to-work!!" in a meeting about overtime protections and unpaid overtime.
