  Backstory: Texas is full of "Leadership Academies" backed by Lizzie DeVos, yes the sister of Eric Prince of Blackwater fame, Drumpf's former Sec. of Education. They take public money to offer education in competition with public schools. Unfortunately, their students do worse on standardized tests than public school students.
  It's just part of the ongoing Rethuglican effort to make a profit by destroying public education. >
