HISD Trustees Vowed to Play Nice, but that didn't last long. Chron.com
Trustees Jolanda Jones and Elizabeth Santos engaged in a 30-second shouting match during a workshop Tuesday, with Jones shouting for Santos to "be quiet" and Santos calling Jones a "liar."
Children, Children, can't we all just get along?
With this group of mush-puddles in charge it's quite possible that HISD hasn't yet found the bottom of the hole it's digging for itself and the only solution might be for the State to come in, sweep it clean, possibly break it up and start from scratch.
Jones and Santos are the culprits in this story, but the entire group of them have been guilty of bad behavior at some point in the past. It's a combination of wanting, desperately, to run for higher office, ego and sheer childishness that drives this group, not some burning desire to "help the children" or other such nonsense that pops up in political ads.
And Houston voters, rarely taking the time to look that far down-ballot are not going to boot them out of office, so I'm afraid that it's going to lie at the feet of the State to make sure that the biggest city in Texas has a school district (or, districts, if they knew what was good for them) that can at least nominally perform it's duties.
As long as we keep running along with this gaggle of awful, HISD is never going to get better.
I'd say "do your duty" and vote them out "for the children" but I know that's not going to happen. So the plea goes out to the Texas Education Administration.
Please, if not for the children do it for our sanity, and some peace and quiet.
