Texas Republicans are trying to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

I told the bill author: “This bill is not only un-constitutional and un-American, it’s deeply un-Christian.” #txlege

“You need to try harder.”
“Don’t be lazy.”
“Nobody likes doing that stuff.”
“Just make a plan & stick to it.”
“Set a reminder in your phone.”
“It’s not that difficult. Grow up.”

Those with #ADHD know how it feels to struggle with basic habits that seem “easy” to other people 😞

My internal clock only has 2 times:

➊ blissful ignorance 🏖️ 😌

➋ impending doom 🚨 😱

From a former teacher in GCISD: "When there's fear, teachers do less. Rigor drops. ... AP Classes in the year that I left were not what AP classes were when I began." These are the consequences of a pro-censorship school board takeover. Get out and vote, Texas.

Experiencing this in real-time at my kid’s school. It’s not about my rights as a parent. It’s only about theirs. Every other parent be damned.

🎯, @jbouie:

“‘Parents’ rights,’ in other words, is when some parents have the right to dominate all the others. And, of course, the point … [is to advance] policies that siphon funds and resources from public institutions & pump them into private ones.” https://t.co/TXdeIY0mjh

Northwest Family First PAC is working under the guise of “Christian Values” while spewing this hatred. Makes me physically ill.

[frank strong @frankstrong]

This is nasty, too: In one FB post, PAC leader Fields singled out and misgendered a trans elementary school student. PAC-backed candidate Jennifer Stephens piled on: “Parents are forcing schools to prioritize these students and typical peers see that and they get angry.”

SCOOP: Jennifer Stephens, a school board candidate running for a seat Northwest ISD who is backed by the right-wing Northwest Family First PAC, may have violated election ethics by conducting a campaign interview while at her job in Denton ISD.

Someone told me I HAD to do the thing I was already planning to do, so now I can’t do the thing.

I can’t really explain why I can’t do the thing, I just… can’t do the thing.

@MeganAnthonyPR I saved a post where they used the academic version as a social media content calendar with 1x3 post it notes and magnetic dry erase strips.
