Considering most of the Taxpayers probably suffer from CTE, it isn't surprising that they would vote something like through. Texas is special, they invest more in football than Academia. They actually tax Academia through tuition to support their sports teams. Then they all complain that thousands of H1B's show up to take all the IT/CS jobs because sports was way more important than teaching the kids something about science. It's fascinating driving by the brain injury fields to see the 8 year old kids banging heads and their parents cheering them on. My son has moved on to Uni but I noticed the District School Board took 3.5 million left over from the last bond election to put artificial turf on the football field at both the HS and Middle School. I bet you didn't know that 10-13 year olds needed artificial turf to play football. You would have thought they could build a pretty good lab for the sciences with that money but who needs that in this day and age? No wonder we have lost our competitive edge in the sciences and so much talent has to be imported from countries where math, physics, biology, chemistry, etc take precedent over sports.
