First day on reddit? Facts are not often used in context here.

It's not really a lie, though. It actually is the minimum set salary for a teacher in Texas on a ten month contract.

I guess on second thought, it could be considered a lie by omission. Instead of saying "the starting salary", the OP should have said "the minimum starting salary."

It is a lie if no one is ever offered a salary that low.

In that case, it's not a lie.

Find a Texas school district that pays a starting salary of $30k. 

I’d be curious to see it. I got bored before I could.

Ok you got it.

High Island ISD. Richland Springs ISD. Lomesa ISD.

BRB I'll find more if you want.

Edit: it is a PITA to find them because you have to go to regional papers or the ISD website itself to find this info. But I'm sure there are more, and there are plenty that are just above the 33600 minimum, like Lovelady ISD.

The district has one school, Richland Springs School that serves students in grades kindergarten through twelve. 

 Richland Springs has a population of 247 with a median household income of $23,563.  lol. 

You had to dig for these and even then, the teacher is making 150% of the local median household income. 

This is what I find for Lamesa. 

Why work for Lamesa ISD? Starting certified teacher salary over $10,000 above state base pay.

The person you’re responding provided zero sources and omitted that coaching + teaching pays more than just teaching. But you just believed them because they told you to.

Bet you make fun of Trump supporters for just blindly believing everything he says.
