Texas Progressives start of school roundup

As most Texas school districts start school this week (and why don't we have a 200-day school year like most advanced nations? It's reason No. 1 the education gap between our kids and theirs grows each grade of advancement), their teachers and superintendents are, by Gov. Strangebbott's petulance, unable to do anything about it.

(Unless they wanted to be like a few Florida school districts who have told Gov. Ron DeSatan and his state money to fuck off. Why hasn't a Texas school district done this?)

Anyway, here's the Roundup for the week reflecting that.
