Guns, bathroom bills, deportation: Is Texas safe for my California kid?
Sacramento Bee ^ | July 14, 2017 | Shawn Hubler

Not long after California officially banned state-funded travel to Texas this summer, we awoke in a hotel there, behind enemy lines. It had been decades since my last visit to the Lone Star State; our daughter had gotten an offer she couldn’t refuse there from a graduate program. That was the good news.

The bad news was, she’d be spending the next several years in a state whose political leaders are pathologically hostile to the blue state where she was born and raised.

I suppose we should inform the author that it's very possible a man will open a door for her...the horror!!! Lol

I fell in love with Texas when the Army sent me to Fort Bliss after college. Except for a 4 year tour in Germany, Texas has been my home for 40+ years.

Does this call for a Texas Ping?

Nah. Just another silly lib, scared of reality.

It’ll be too dangerous here, in Texas, for your Kali Snowflake. The hot weather and strong conservatism will melt her.

Keep her there and let her pay for school while you pay tuition for all of those illegals.

¡No son bienvenidas!

Is this article tongue-in-cheek sarcasm?

They’ve included about every deranged stereotype there is.

“...our daughter had gotten an offer she couldn’t refuse there (TX) from a graduate program.”

For lib-leftist-loons, it’s always about principles...unless the money is better on the other side.

But, they’re still gonna complain.

Freedom is so unconscionable for such leftist snowflakes.

“Speaking of pathological, this here is really sick. Like Governor Abbott stays up nights thinking up ways to reach two time zones over and screw up California even worse than it already is.”

Governor Abbott just announced he’s running for re-election. That’s a point for his campaign if I ever heard one. I hope you pass it along.

This is indeed one sick woman.

Like medicine is pathologically hostile to disease.

I hope the author writes another pathological screed in about the phone call she most certainly will get when her daughter announces that she is engaged to a petro engineer, loves Texas and has no intention of going back to Kali.

Mom: You can’t do this to me.
Daughter: I am a Republican now.
Mom: silence
daughter: And I would die for Texas
Mom: thud.

Most of the comments following the column are funny, and echo the comments here.

It’s clearly NOT safe for your daughter. Bring her home ASAP. Have her immediately resign her position there so that others from a more stable environment may flourish. If she stays there any longer, she might actually vote there.

California is hostile to Texas.

Texas is barely aware that California exists.
