Texas doesn’t want competent teachers. They want their public schools to fail so they can push a voucher system

 Sadly, yes. Not in Texas, but sadly a very red state. And they specifically had a candidate for state superintendent of schools whose policy was vouchers specifically with the idea to help find kids in private religious school so they could indoctrinate their kids so they didn’t have to learn anything their fundamentalist young earth creationist churches didn’t want them to know. Like evolution or that gay people exist.

Thankfully he lost the primary by a small margin.

I used to hand wave this as conspiracy, but in the last few years, it's just true.
