You may have heard that Houston schools plan to convert libraries to disciplinary centers and fire the librarians.
What you may not have heard is that the State of Texas took over the Houston school district and installed its own superintendent.
That's the guy who is closing libraries. This is not something local residents want, and the superintendent is not locally accountable,

Republican government is a system of public corruption.
Every board position, agency head, or tenure is used for patronage payoffs, donor maintenance & shielding the indicted.

And that is why Harris County had control of its elections stripped.
The only way Republicans win now is through cooking the books and cheating.
GOP billionaires want to end American democracy the same way they did in Texas and Florida.
