This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵
By @houstonchronicle.com columnist Lisa Falkenberg: "Books — actual books, with dust jackets, spines, whimsical illustrations, and characters and cliffhangers — are increasingly unwelcome in the land of worksheets and slide shows." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Falkenberg: Mike Miles takes story books from HISD kindergarteners
First HISD took the libraries. Now teachers say the district’s curriculum leaves no room for storybooks and some are secretly reading to students anyway.

Going to speak at the Houston City Council meeting tomorrow about Emmanuel.
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.
This is beyond cruel.

I've got no school board Rep (due to HISD takeover), no US Rep (due to deaths) and now Greg Abbott wants to remove my state Rep.

Since 2021, I've had 3 US Reps because I got redistricted from the 1st one and the 2nd and 3rd both died, now I have no Rep for what will most likely be a full year because of a push to delay special election and now I might get redistricted again for 2026 and beyond. Texas baby!

First Mamdani and now Fateh, there is a movement happening and the legacy Dems cannot handle it. Either get with it or get left behind.

It's a great day to join @houstoncvpe.bsky.social and join the fight to end the HISD takeover! This is a great read.
We're professors. We're parents. HISD students don't deserve AI slop.
Two Rice professors say that the monstrous faces in an AI-generated lesson on the Harlem Renaissance are symbols of a state takeover gone wrong.

One of the more devastating blows from the HISD takeover is cutting wraparound services. Proud of Audrey, fellow mom and member of @houstoncvpe.bsky.social for leading the charge to get these students the supplies they deserve.

On-site design meeting today. I've done loads of partial renovations over the past few years, but this will be my first whole home. I'm stoked.
