SocraticGadfly: Twenty-plus years on, Texas Rethugs still blame Democraps

Twenty-plus years on, Texas Rethugs still blame Democraps

That's nowhere more true than with educational issues in general and the State Board of Education in particular, per a forum in the runoff for Republican nominees for SBOE District 12.

Challenger Jamie Kohlmann is apparently addicted to the word "woke." She of course is not alone in the modern MAGA-verse, but it's laughable.

Kohlmann went with the woke trilogy of DEI, and other items.

She again ignores that the state of Texas has controlled the SBOE for I am guessing at least 20 years. They've controlled the Texas Senate for 20 years and the House for 26. 

If schools have gotten worse, than who is there to blame but themselves? Ditto on crappy state instructional materials and everything else. Incumbent Pam Little wouldn't back down on American exceptionalism. Assume that includes the exceptionalism of warmongering and genocide. 

Other nuttery, including items that have nothing to do with the SBOE's remit? Yes, your housing insurance went up. See those wildfires in West Texas. See the National Weather Service predicting another bad hurricane season.

Part of the problem? Per the Chronic, blame Texans for Educational Freedom.
