Brief HISD Insurrection Gag Updates
Abbott’s Continued Rampage on Monitories
Schools about to start in Houston for the Houston independent school district (or HISD). I’ve been tracking the insurrection of Our Dear Leader, the Honorable Governor His Excellency Greg Abbott has been leading the charge for his department of education to take over and run the Houston district to turn it into a for-profit engine. (I’m still betting his wife or family member is on the board of Mike Miles charter school company, but I haven’t done the research and don’t know who has. There just must be a money trail; this is not being done to “help the children”.)
The new school year looks on track to be disastrous. Here’s a couple updates.
◦ Headline: “HISD parents, teachers ‘blindsided’ after principals removed from 2 campuses days before school starts” (I saw a couple articles on this issue, but I believe the teachers, so not really needing to see details)
◦ Headline: “HISD move to fire teacher of perceived ‘threats’ to board members” (The article is behind a paywall do I can’t read who is doing the perceiving)
◦ Houston Teacher spills all about why she’s retiring now.
◦ Headline: Gag Orders from HISD Superintendent Mike Miles [on Democracy]
