  TSA and airport security checks - thank the few for that.
context: The same Katy ISD that had their superintendent fired for bullying and falsifying his PhD thesis and everyone in the district defended him? 
  Yeah, that seems right. >
  
  He wasy principal for one year. Didn't like him in the least >
  
  "While Straub did not specify which posts could have been controversial, she wrote that a Texas school board could find the following objectionable: an abortion fundraiser held by her Brooklyn bookstore Books Are Magic, a post featuring one of her sons in a dress and an “ongoing Melt The Guns fundraiser for Everytown.” >
  
  Texas is just so free, I mean look at all the freedom! >
  
  Yeah they let you walk into any school and have gun fights for free!
  The cops will even keep the area secure so no one bothers you while you are in there. >
  
  It's all fuck your feelings until it's their feelings. >
  
  The flag doesn't say "don't tread on you" >

  Katy Independent School District said the reason for canceling Straub’s visits was profanity, particularly the use of the word “f**k,” according to a letter sent to parents and staff of two elementary schools" >
  
  It puts the schools in an impossible position. They are liable for looking after minors and also trying to please an increasingly fractious and adversarial and litigious populace. >
  
  Who would have a case if she used a bad word in her presentation to the kids, but otherwise should feel free to fart in their hats. >
  
  What happens when a creationist children’s book writer wants to show a kids book with people and dinosaurs? If you tell people to “fart in their hat” you will be suspended within the week and out of a job soon after.
  Expecting teachers and administrators, already underpaid and overworked and with limited power, to be arbiters in broad societal conflicts that will take decades to resolve is not practical. >
  
  First off, I am a former educator. Second, I was responding in a personal manner, not a professional manner. 
  As for the dinosaurs and humans, you don't allow it on the grounds that it has no basis in science. 
  I don't know anyone in public schools (and I'm in Texas) that taught creationism, or even hinted that it might be legitimate outside of myth.
  All that being said, the educators obviously have to evaluate the situation at hand, and probably cancelled because they knew the board doesn't have their back. >
  
  Much respect for being a teacher. Perhaps we differ on approaching the issue from a personal political versus practical implementation perspective. >
  
  "Some" parents.  SOME.  NOT MOST.  SOME.
  I wish school districts would stop pandering to the FEW loud ass idiots. Although, I hope it will get a little better since religion is dying. But, they will still be stupid and loud. >
  
  My mom used to volunteer at my elementary school from the 70’s to the 80’s also for the city. She used to say “it’s always the few who ruin it for the many”. As I get older I see it more and more and in every aspect of life. It’s absolutely frustrating. These ppl constitute like 30% of the population but get all the rights and all the attention
