Hmmm ... I think Austin ISD is about to be administered a dose of REALITY.
Taxpayer-Funded Schools Escort Kids to Anti-ICE Protest Instead of Class – Abbott Demands Answer

Apparently, Austin schools have taught every student to read proficiently and do higher level math and have plenty of time to do walk-out protests.
Brian Phillips (@RealBPhil) ~ Austin ISD let kids out of school, with a police escort, to protest ICE at the Capitol

Woof ... great "sign making abilities" on display, there, right? Good grief. But, her hair is pink, so what else did you expect, eh?
Enter the dose of REALITY into Austin ISD's fantasy world ...
Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) ~ I have directed the Education Commissioner to investigate this.
AISD gets taxpayer dollars to teach the subjects required by the state, not to help students skip school to protest.
Our schools are for educating our children, not political indoctrination.
This is one of many reasons why AISD is losing so many students.
Coastal_Armor (@armor_coastal) ~ These protests were not student led. They were led by the teachers and administrators.
Of course they were. The activist teachers couldn't wait to get this started. They probably offered extra credit to kids who participated.
X.Crystal (@RedPanda6471) ~ They are using these kids and aiming for them to be instrumental in their color revolution. Stop this NOW. Protect the kids.
Rachel 🦁 Horton (@HortonHearsTx) ~ Those signs that say: "F**K 🧊" are being carried and displayed to minors ... call me old fashioned, but public school teachers should NOT get to organize a walk out where profanity is on full display. Unless they’re assuming none of the kids can read ... then we have a whole other problem. Anyhoo, check the comments before scrolling on. They’re pretty lit - as it should be.
Gary Frankel (@FrankelGarion) ~ Every day there's something new and performative from AISD. Their kids can't read!
Anahira (@TexasKiw1) ~ There is no saving Austin Texas - the next generation is already cooked.
Cody Harris (@CodyHarrisTX) ~ Austin ISD continues to fail Texas kids. When faced with whether to spend precious classroom hours giving instruction in reading, writing, math, and science or to let kids out of school to protest, they chose the protest. Yet, every session they beg for more money.
Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) ~ Somebody needs to be fired.
Rhonda Geiger (@RG18TX) ~ No consequences, no deterrents.
Eric Johnson (@EricJohnso42802) ~ Fire those responsible and you need to check other ISDs as well.
HOTROD (@RubenRodInSa) ~ San Antonio TX did the same thing!!!!
Uh oh, Greg ... sounds like you might need to widen that net.
Jeff Leach (@leachfortexas) ~ I’ve got questions. A lot of questions. Starting with: "Where are these kids’ parents?!"
Did parents have to sign permission slips? If students walk off campus, parents are supposed to give consent. Hopefully, this is all being investigated.
