Kudos to Keller

The kids in Keller, that is.

Yesterday 500 of them spoke out about canning their teachers. Several held signs that said, "Save our teachers, save our future".  Some walked four miles to be heard.  That's more than some adults will ever do.  Bravo, Keller kids, bravo.

Maybe the kids in Keller will grow up to become the next Governor, or Fort Worth school board trustee.  One can only hope.

Read about the Keller kids, in the Keller Citizen and what the FWISD Trustees are mixed up in this time in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The day before the House Energy Resources Committee held a hearing on the bill, a Facebook posting by local attorney Jason Smith, who testified in favor of the bill, said an energy company lobbyist was "bragging" that he had letters in his pocket from some Fort Worth school trustees who opposed the bill.

The e-mails show that Jackson and Needham provided written testimony March 15 that opposed Burnam's bill, which is endorsed by the Texas Association of School Boards. Jackson and Needham rescinded their testimony hours after the Facebook posting by Smith.
