Awesome

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Governor Abbot, distinguished members of the cabinet...I would like to thank you all very much for this appointment, and I wish to announce that the first item on my agenda is to close the State Dept of “Education”.

Thank you very much.

The Governor recently passed legislation requiring cameras in Special Education rooms because, apparently, there is an issue with criminals harming vulnerable children in those areas. I say criminals because now there will be proof of abuse so they can rot in prison where they belong. Liberals are stunned - not knowing if they are supposed to support the children or the teachers union.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I agree - except for the Oklahoma part.... ;^)

Well! Surprise! Surprise!

[wintertime]

Hopefully, someday there will be cameras in all government school classrooms. It might tone down some of the Marxist rhetoric being pump into those vulnerable little brains.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Technically there are cameras in all classrooms now - with cell phones. All too often we see on tv a student attack a teacher in Houston schools and another student captures it on their phone. It always makes the adult look like the bad guy for defending himself..... But I agree with you - there should be documentation for whichever side is in the right.

But he’s now being criticized for selecting someone whose own kids have never attended a public school.

One must wonder if the complainers realize what that says about all the politicians that enact so many Freedom-inhibiting "laws" and their capacity to make laws about crap they have no practical experience in. I'd wager it is NEA/Teacher Union types making the biggest stink and they seem to have no useful experience in education either.....

[ExCTCitizen]

Yes...

[bonfire]

It’s a great state. btw, my DIL is homeschooling so we are all excited about Abbott’s choice!

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Now we just have to hope that we can keep the progressive socialists out.

They're already colonizing Austin. If, however, we could build a wall around that city to keep them in, we might be all right.

[Syncro]

Fantastic! Gov Abbott is rockin’ it!

[Impy]

YES. Suck it libs.

[GOPsterinMA]

So far Gov. Abbott seems to be the only gov. with BALLS.

I hope he stays resolute and some more govs. do the same.
