You're really comparing an abortion ban to delayed algebra?
Also, that was just a single example. If you want to stick to education, Texas lawmakers have also been trying to push a book ban for public schools just this past month.
There's also a bill targeting the concept of critical race theory that would ban curriculum where “an individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of the individual’s race or sex.”
This is significantly different from pros/cons like high taxes... there's a fairly strong current of anti-intellectualism across Texan politics.
- mrep 5y agoYou're really comparing a state level abortion ban to delayed algebra? Abortion at the state level is not something I would even consider in my list of priorities when choosing where to live when you can just drive to another state for a once in a lifetime event if you ever actually needed one. Public school systems are a whole other level though as your kids will deal with that daily.
