Living in Texas Today

I would not wish to be young with a family and in the middle class and live in Texas.  The public schools are becoming overcrowded and unable to service the intellectually elite with subjects like advanced mathematics.  All children are subject large class sizes where actual learning is greatly lessened. Private schools in the community are not an answer.  They tend to be unaffordable or operated by fundamentalists with weak intellectual content and outdated ideology. 

Further, living in Texas below the middle class as more and more Texans are finding out is totally destabilizing not only to those below the poverty line but to the state in general.

What we are witnessing in Texas and other reactionary enclaves is a wave of foolish selfishness that weakens the society economically and dynamically.
