As long as she stays out of Austin, Houston and the other liberal bastions of stupidity.
Don’t send your daughter. Texas already has enough fascists.
If the daughter has as many emotional issues and biases as the writer then it could be difficult. She will literally imagine a threat EVERYWHERE.
If the daughter is emotionally stable, the article had a few concrete/non-emotional concerns. The daughter will be safe unless
* she is gay and wants to adopt without leaving the state (not sure it’s a safety issue)
* she gets arrested and can’t prove she’s a citizen or legal resident
* she wants a no-effort abortion
* she has a penis and wants to use the women’s rooms (not stated in the article but probably a concern of mom and certainly a possibility)
Other than that the article can be shortened to “I’m a liberal snob and would go out of my way to be offended by everyone in Texas and offend them. And I’d do my best to make sure we can’t relate to each other. I hope my daughter is like me but if so Texas is the wrong place for her”.
Awesome thread! The Bee doesn’t stand a chance messing with this web site.
Are you kidding ? I grew up in SoCal, later became a Texan, following my family roots. I haven’t been to SoCal since 90’s. I have opportunity to make one last trip to my former homeland. I am terrified to go back. It’s insane there. Nothing like my wonderful childhood home. I feel safer in Texas, I at least have right to self protection there (except in Austin). Have family living up in foothills above San Bernardino. Sitting on deck listening to gunfire and police helicopters has become a a macbre form of entertainment. Over run by illegals, San Berdo is as bankrupt as Chicago and Detroit.
:: ... after California officially banned state-funded travel to Texas...
...a state whose political leaders are pathologically hostile to the blue state where she was born and raised. ::
Think about this juxtaposition and then ask, “Project much, Shawn?”
lol - just in time for Texas new law on Knives, swords and daggers.

No, it won’t. Texas will be terrible for her. It is full of snakes, scorpions and cactus and is too hot. That was not a heat wave around the 4th of July. That was normal summer. Send her somewhere else. Austin already has way too many SJW type Kalifornia transplants in it. Better to keep your snowflake in Kalifornia where it is safe and the infection won’t spread.
The entire subject of this article is absurd.
Someone is afraid of sending their daughter to college in Texas?? They really fear for her personal safety in the state of Texas, because Texas isn’t as liberal politically as where she’s from in California???
I really can’t understand the thought process, that someone would have fears for their child’s own personal safety, in the state of Texas. I can’t fathom the mindset that comes up with this as a factor to weigh in deciding where the daughter goes to school.
If Californians are as smug, arrogant, intolerant and obnoxious as this woman her and her demon spawn should stay the F out of TX. All this liberal talk of tolerance, respect for other cultures, diversity, etc is PURE BS.
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.
>>whose political leaders are pathologically hostile to the blue state where she was born and raised.
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.
As a Texan...feel free to stay the hell out....we don’t need any one coming from California who isn’t ready to embrace our values!!!
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.
No. Stay there. Stay in your safe place.
The scathing comments at the source article are too good!
