Texas officials announced on Wednesday that they would be taking over Houston's public school district, which is the eighth-largest in the U.S., deepening existing tensions between local Democratic leaders and the Republican majority-held statehouse.

"The district's approach to supporting students with disabilities also continues to violate state and federal law," wrote Morath, who referenced"significant systemic compliance problems, including an ongoing inability to provide special education services to students without delays."following the morning's announcement:

"Taking over the district now, despite all of this, is dead wrong," Reynolds said, adding that students and teachers would be"paying the price." This hostile takeover threatens to close schools, drive out teachers, and take away the power of local communities to elect their own leaders."The state takeover of HISD is not about public education — it's about political control of a 90 percent Black and brown student body in one of the country's most diverse cities. And it's not what our students and teachers need," continued the ACLU.

Houston school system - terrible

Texas and Florida racing neck and neck to the bottom of the humanity barrel. Disgusting troglodytes

Dangerous….*white* republican state legislatures taking over urban governments.. Nashville St. Louis Jacksonville -GA in general -now Houston there are others I am forgetting.. this insidious.. I’m sure im not the only person noticing a trend - this is how apartheid starts

If Abbott could play baseball his position would be designated Hitler

Hey, no secret here. The Houston school district is run by Dems and is rotten and corrupt to it's core. Likely, all new board of managers will be Dems too, but hopefully they will do their job and clean up HISD.

Authoritarianism is the currency of the day in the GOP.

When I think America. I think politicians taking over schools. Right?

Democrats want to keep the failing schools performing at the same low levels.
