Critics condemn superintendent Mike Miles’s ‘new education system’ that removes students’ access to books
They are just turning schools into prisons. They want locked doors, armed guards, and displinary centers? Sounds like prison
Let’s be honest here, this isn’t their real goal, they want to turn all of Texas into a prison unless you’re rich.
Privately run prison(s) … to make up for their waning oil revenues.
Houston isn’t doing this. The Texas state government is doing it. Abbott and his colleagues have taken over the Houston independent school district.
Fun fact: In Norway, “Texas” is used as slang for a crazy or chaotic situation.
For example, if a group of Tunnel Snakes got into a fight with some nuns on the bus, you could say “det var helt Texas på bussen i dag”, meaning “it was totally Texas on the bus today.”
When stupid decision are made here in my country, I think we are the biggest idiots in the world. But watching this kind of news shows that entire world is getting dumb.
The largest school district in Texas announced its libraries will be eliminated and replaced with discipline centers in the new school year.
Houston independent school district announced earlier this summer that librarian and media-specialist positions in 28 schools will be eliminated as part of superintendent Mike Miles’s “new education system” initiative.
I cannot imagine that any politician wants to deny access to knowledge. Something doesn’t make sense about it and I suspect the story is one-sided.
Is there a possibility that they plan to use digital books in the future and consider libraries a waste of space or something like that?
I think denying certain people access to knowledge has been a goal of many politicians for some time.
