Potentially unpopular opinion in @CyFairISD , but the K and L system needs to go.
Perhaps if we streamlined the earlier courses, Ss would actually explore things they’re interested in without damaging their GPA. Also, maybe more diverse groups would enroll in AP and DC classes.

One of my Dad's best takes on the 50's was that the "bill hadn't come due".
You could drive your chevy with no emissions along the CA coast, but the smog hadn't come yet.
The sexual revolution was low key happening, but 50% of kids were growing up in broken homes yet, etc.
Get their parents to stop enabling it... But how to do that?
How do we tackle the learned helplessness we're currently seeing in our students?
The inability to do the basics necessary to facilitate learning?

It is a complete disgrace that the most heavily monitored man in America still ended up with stage 4 prostate cancer.
Jill Biden just told PEOPLE how their post, White House plans for Italy got blown up after doctors at Walter Reed and the White House Medical Unit missed the warning signs, hiding behind lazy guidelines that skip PSA tests for men over 70.
Think about that, Joe Biden had a 24/7 medical team watching him while waking up seven times a night, and they still let it spread to his bones. At least Jill is calling this out publicly so regular guys over 70 stop blindly trusting broken protocols and demand the blood tests before it’s too late.

FDR was very explicit when creating the minimum wage that it should be a livable wage.
This idea that minimum wage jobs are starter jobs is corporate propaganda used to defend paying people substandard wages.

Wondered when that was going to happen and which district would be first

Some people need to be reminded that "working class" is not a codeword. It means "If I suddenly stopped working for money, dire consequences would soon follow."
Yeah, now I'm seeing lots more hands raised. Thank you

This was my experience in the 90s and I’ll go even further they protected us from the drunk cis men who tried to follow people into the bathrooms. Also in women’s restrooms all the stalls are PRIVATE WITH A DOOR the communal space is the mirror with sinks. Might as well be unisex

WOW: On the first day of bill filing for the new TX Legislature, Democrats introduced bills to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, end data center tax breaks, ban Flock cameras, legalize marijuana, and repeal ICE partnerships for sheriffs.
Taking Texas by the horns.

So many people asking themselves why DC can’t build a cinematic universe is funny because if you were there from the beginning the answer is very simple. During its inception the MCU was afforded two things DC never got: Time and Low Expectations.

45 years. FORTY FIVE YEARS they have been regurgitating the same exhausting talking points.
Supply-side economics is a demonstrably failed experiment.
They did not, in fact, create more jobs and reinvest beyond market driven expectations. They have been hoarding and concentrating wealth for FORTY FIVE YEARS - all the while convincing just enough people that it is the immigrants’ fault, or the minority’s fault, or the LGBTQ person’s fault.
THEY LIED TO YOU SO THEY COULD STEAL FROM YOU AND YOU WOULD BLAME YOUR NEIGHBORS INSTEAD OF THEM.
It is way beyond time to restore the balance to demand-side economics. You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you can’t even afford boots!
INVEST in our people and communities with the literal basics of quality education, quality healthcare, and affordable housing.
Give people a solid chance to actually work hard and thrive in this country.
NOT socialism - BALANCE. Good heavens I am so over people carrying water for the individuals in the ivory towers laughing at how they’ve used their powers to divide us and destroyed the American dream in the process.
You are on the wrong side of history, Jason.
Well, you’re filing things that you know won’t actually pass the Senate because a lot of them will destroy small businesses in Texas because very few people already make under minimum wage at $15 an hour so a lot of this is for show so why not try to find some bills that will actually get government out-of-the-way so people can prosper instead of becoming dependent on government

I know most of y’all aren’t from Dallas, TX and even fewer are from Plano, but this is IMPORTANT. Because it’s quietly happening everywhere.
Dallas Stars owner, CANADIAN billionaire Tom Gaglardi, plans on moving the Stars out of Dallas to a BRAND NEW arena in Plano, Texas, opening in 2031. The arena is projected to cost $1 billion. He wants taxpayers to pick up $700 million, including $250 million in future taxes diverted from PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Plano voted 54% NO last Tuesday! But city officials and Gaglardi won’t take no for an answer and are finding ways to “WORK AROUND” democracy and use public money to finance the project.
And by the way, cities that subsidize sports arenas get MINIMAL net revenue, which is why Dallas hasn’t rushed to build a new arena AND it will cause an insane amount of traffic on the Dallas North Tollway, which is already brutal!
Hold your local-level officials ACCOUNTABLE! Don’t think corruption is only at the top.

President Biden: "You don't get to turn a blind eye to cops being punched, speared, sprayed, and brutalized and call yourself a friend of law enforcement. What Trump did on January 6, 2021, should never be forgotten. It should follow him to his grave." theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Many "great" teaching ideas die the moment they meet a classroom of students who do not care.
You have to be in a classroom to truly understand that.

This has to be bittersweet for Cornyn.
I think he sincerely wishes he hadn't been forced out and that Republicans had held this seat, but I think part of him is also relieved Paxton got what was coming to him and that Trump couldn't buy a seat for him.

Austin ISD halted its cooperation with a state investigation into its spending. The move comes just days after Texas voters ousted Republican Comptroller Don Huffines, whose office launched the investigation after Gov. Greg Abbott requested audits of up to four school districts. texastribune.org/2026/11/09/…

That first press conference in January when Gina Hinojosa is speaking with a bunch of normal-looking people standing behind her that actually reflect Texas instead of awkward old scowling white guys in cowboy hats is gonna hit so hard
