It is totally unreasonable to expect public schools to teach cursive.

Out of the annual Texas budget of $130 Billion, only between $25 Billion and $30 Billion goes to public schools.

This is a measly less-than-half of the budget of Texas public schools (i.e. $60-something Billion per year). The rest is obtained from federal tax dollars ($6 Billion) and local taxes ($30 Billion).

If Texas Public Schools are forced to divert these limited funds (around $13000 per student per year) to teach cursive, it will mean other areas—such as gender inclusivity and sensitivity training—will have inadequate funds.

This is an outrage!

Maybe a judge can put a stop to this. It’s almost certainly racist and discriminatory because minorities will be hurt the most. Someone call Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU. It’s for the children!

Illinois is taking the doors off the restroom stalls. If Texas did the same, that’d allow for money for cursive writing. It’d also serve for gender fluidity.

When I first began reading your posting, I was getting mad.

As I read further, I realized it was sarcasm (well done).

Ending with a sarc tag might prevent some folks from believing what you wrote was true.
