What surprises me most is that this happened in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any well run place (usually leaning right) will be prosperous, drawing in many from the poorly run places (i.e. California) who hope to do well...problem is, the newcomers bring in their old style politics (which caused the problem in the first place), infecting the new place with the old crap.

Why are you surprised?
The government school collective is run by the same machine virtually throughout the country.
With notably few exceptions, the teachers have been thoroughly indoctrinated in the collectivist statist worldview.
Almost all school collectives are run by the same unions.
Fedzilla’s Department of Education distributes money and regulations to all school collectives throughout the country.
You see, the “public school” has become the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.
It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. Children do not trust hypocrites, so this will undermine your own authority, let alone influence, with your children.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.

If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
There is an effort in Texas don’t kid yourself. If Texas goes blue . . .
It doesn’t surprise me at all. Texans are so proud of their state and their ‘freedom’ that they won’t allow criticism or comments that point out that they’re loosing them. They didn’t protect what they had, assuming that it’ll always be there, and it’s going up in smoke.
I’ve never met such a large group of hard-heads in my life.
Yep...figured it would be Austin.
TX has a lot more RINOs than one would think: they just don’t use the term here.
