Charles, why do you care about her religious views? I couldn’t tell you if the previous principal was Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or atheist. What matters is how they lead the staff and students. And by all accounts, she’s excellent at doing just that.

🚨BOMBSHELL🚨Fort Worth ISD announced Shayma Alzubi as the new principal of Western Hills High School. Alzubi has posted pro-Palestinian content and reposted content supportive of Sharia Law. Is Fort Worth ISD endorsing this?

Gonna be some rather sad games in this World Cup where those fading legends who cannot accept they are fading, but remain surrounded by a pretty tragic cult of celebrity, discover they are no longer at the level in a boiling hot World Cup

@realmitchlittle looking astounded at an actual fact. Yes, undocumented immigrants are a plus on the economy.
“Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022,” reports the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

This is a Texas public school district in 2026.

This is either laughably naive or, more likely, sinisterly misleading.
The number of instructional days lost to STAAR testing (benchmarks, makeups) has tripled thanks to this bill.
There are plenty of sound, data-abundant ways to measure performance.
3x STAAR ain’t one of them.

[Team Bettencourt @TeamBettencourt]

"What gets measured gets fixed" is a phrase I'm well known for in the Texas Senate, and it's at the heart of education reforms passed in HB 8 that measure our future students' success.

House Pub Ed Chair @BradBuckleyDVM and I passed his HB 8 to prepare students for real-world achievement with a system that measures student growth.

HB 8 replaces the STAAR with 3 shorter tests: beginning, middle, and end of the year. BOY and MOY scores are back in 48 hours, so teachers can give students immediate feedback! A-F accountability ratings were restored, and "lawfare" trying to block accountability was STOPPED as Texas must have a public accountability system year to year!

The reforms give valuable time back to teachers and students in Texas classrooms. Fall 2027 can’t come fast enough for me as HB 8 is a win, win, win for all in Texas Public Education! 🤘 #txed #txlege

Every teacher in Texas right now.
Especially in Fort Worth ISD.
Especially at my campus.

Yesterday, in a moment of inspiration, I started celebrating students’ correct responses by performing a unique celebration based on different FC Barcelona players’ goal celebrations - Lamine Yamal’s crown, Pedri’s goggles, Dani Olmo’s wrist…
Melania and I are not the same.

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

My favorite teacher taught social studies, but he also showed us Simpsons reruns, told us stories of when he was in a band in college, and was a civil war reenactor. Get lost with this nonsense.

the suspicion that the speech might disrupt the learning environment.
So if kids aren’t marching in classrooms/halls, they can protest.
2) Many community centers serve as polling places & are near schools. (See: Southwest Comm Ctr and Southwest HS).
Hope that helps, fascist. 2/2

[Ernesto Morán @SenorMoran]

I can help answer.
1) In Tinker v Des Moines (a 7-2 decision) SCOTUS ruled neither students nor teachers “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” The Court took the position that school officials could not prohibit only on 1/2

[Carlos Turcios @Carlos__Turcios]

🚨EULESS, TEXAS🚨Euless Texas Voting Center is being harrassed by a LARGE Anti-Ice Group. They are waving Mexican flags and are from a nearby High School. Why are schools allowing this?? And why are they right next to a polling site???!

INVESTIGATE!

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

[Ernesto Morán @SenorMoran]

Amazing word salad and conflation of the state takeover and your school privatization efforts, governor. Also amazing you don’t understand Supreme Court precedent and First Amendment law.
But don’t worry. November is coming.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

THIS is a school district that Texas is taking over because the FWISD has failed students for 5 years in a row.

Parents are fleeing FWISD & choosing school choice because they want their kids educated not indoctrinated.

The State will course correct FWISD.

Texas Republicans: “We have to allow kids to be activists if they want.”

Also Texas Republicans: “No, not like that!”

Just last month Abbott said he expects meaningful disciplinary action to take place against any stoppage of Turning Point USA high school chapters in Texas, but “schools are not a place for politics…”
