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

Posted on 07/17/2017 6:11:02 AM PDT by artichokegrower

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.

Your daughter will be fine. She will be 2,000 miles away from you and the sick culture you embrace and may have an opportunity to develop into a reasonable young adult.

“pathologically hostile to the blue state...” Nothing screams safety like certain areas of major U.S. blue cities.

You could send her tapes of the speeches of Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown to keep her indoctrinated. Perhaps the Sacramento Bee can compile a little red book of useful sayings for bedtime reading.

Safer than walking on a San Francisco sanctuary city pier.

NO!! Absolutely not. Keep your sick minded government worshipping smug condescending self and your spawn in Kalifornistan where the people around you share your delusions. Texas allows some reality to enter its culture, and you and probably your get will likely not survive exposure to reality and retreat into a catatonic state.

- Is your daughter at risk of being deported?

- Do you want your daughter in the locker room or shower with sexually confused strange men?

- If you are worried about gun violence, send your daughter to school in Chicago instead. They have very restrictive gun laws.

Thx buh bye

This woman could not have gotten this more backwards....it is California leaders who are “ pathologically hostile” to the state of Texas.

Typical left-wing Libturd. Willing to subject his own child to an environment detrimental to her well-being in order to grab a handout.

She calls it “behind enemy lines”. So Civil War II has started?

or is she miffed that there are pockets of resistance to the Red Communist Cultural Revolution of 1968-2012?

More drivel from the Sacramento Pee.

No, lady... Texas is NOT safe for your kid or any other Cali liberal. You and your kids stay away from red states.

No! Get out now. Don’t even pack. Just go. If all the guns don’t kill you, the barbecue might. Get out. Run!

Interesting that they do this article but never one about the angst of a conservative family sending their offspring to an ultra-liberal mess of a college...

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.

Pshaw, the libs are willing to sacrifice the future of their offspring to get those of voting age placed in Republican strongholds to shift the tide at the polls.
