Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

I teach seven periods of geometry every day to over 190 high school students. Several of my students come from terrible home situations. Many have never been taught basic manners and respect, and some still count on their fingers when doing basic math operations.

And Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's solution to the educational crisis facing our state is to arm teachers and fund special weapons training for them?

"God forbid we should have an active shooter crisis in our schools," Dewhurst said.

To which I would add, God forbid we should have idiots setting educational policy for our schools.
