Life happens.
One day you are driving along life’s highway, thinking about what you’re going to fix for supper and how you need to be working out more. All of sudden, “wham!” a you hit a turkey and it flies into your windshield.
Yep, smack right into the windshield, cracking the glass and scattering little shards everywhere in the passenger front seat of my Jeep.
Just like that, life happens.

It’s one thing to lose your temper; it’s another thing when you are a public official at meeting with voters.
We’ve all lost our temper from time to time. Being stuck in traffic or driving while being surrounded by people who don’t know how to drive can set you off.
A couple of weeks ago, a letter to the editor caused someone to lose their temper and give me call about it. It wasn’t pretty on the other end of the line.

Although there has been widespread condemnation of the Texas State Board of Education for re-writing history and subjecting Texans to a host of ridicule, ultimately it is your school board, the Crockett County CCSD that has the responsibility under the Texas Education Code (Section 31) to decide our children’s instructional materials.
The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) is accepting resolutions to guide the policy for our 1235 school boards for its upcoming September Annual Meeting. Aside from local text selection, the boards could form their own statewide textbook selection committee choosing members who both have the requisite graduate degree in the relevant field and who assert they have no political agenda. So far only one district has addressed this, but perhaps the Crockett County CCSD will co-sponsor us.
