Repeat After Me: Education Is Important!

While Governor Perry was on the trail during his doomed campaign for the White House, Texas lawmakers began to further cut down the state's dwindling education budget. According to this post on the Burnt Orange Report (BOR) website, lawmakers slashed a total of 5.4 billion dollars in education funds while his Governorship was away. This indeed caused quite a stirred among the members of the Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA) and the Democratic party. With elementary school classrooms size exceeding the legal limit due to the closures of schools of previous cuts, one would think that the cut would be unwise; but then again the people running the show in this state don't think. Education should be the among the last to be cut if not cut at all, but hey what do I know; subsidizing an archaic cloth industry in South Texas seems to be more important. Keeping ranchers happy in this state is a serious business. The TSTA have began to launch a petition to tell his Governorship to  call a special session in order to reverse the cuts. We would wise to sign this petition in order to save our future generations.
