A republican governor is seeking to rule, not to govern and used the excuse of one school that wasn't meeting state standards as an excuse to strip democratic control of the Houston Schoolboard from his political opposition. Houston ISD is not controlled by the people of Houston anymore, this is the State Government being authoritarian.

It was falling 4 years ago and isn't anymore. The takeover was blocked in courts, and this year, the state legislature passed a new law allowing the takeover of the whole district.
