The Constitution of the State of Texas mandates public schools and that those schools must be funded.

It may be mandated but why the hell should I have to pay for schools when I don't have kids, never have and never will?

It is taxation without representation, pure and simple. If I had kids then I could see it. Maybe.

Do you own a home?

Why should apartment owners have to subsidize your mortgage?

The tax system is a trade-off. I'd bet you'd be paying for schools no matter what state you lived in.
