"Save Austin Public Schools"

With the new legislature coming up in 2013, everyone is brainstorming on their stances on different topics to prepare for the year to come, one of which will always be a factor; money. These early discussions for the 2013 legislative session proposes we cut MORE public school funding and welfare, and start enforcing more local/public control. 

OFF THE KUFF states, "This is basically the Paul Ryan Budget Plan for Texas. Protect a few things that the rich and powerful like, ensure those folks have to pay as little as possible, and cut the hell out of everything else. It has nothing to do with “priorities” or needs or anything else except lowering taxes for those who least like paying them. I guarantee you, every spending cut these guys would propose will be accompanied by an even larger revenue cut that will ensure the need for more of the same in the next budget. The goal is to exempt themselves from paying for anything". 

I agree in the sense that cutting into public schools funding isn't the way to go in any state, let alone in a state that has half of the children's new growth population."Between 2000 and 2010, the child population of the United States grew by about 2 million children, and over half of them were Texans. Our economy benefits from having so many young people — if we teach them the skills they need.”-Conservative Budget Coalition Targets 2013 Session.

The author clearly is targeting, and actually states that he is targeting all the Democrats in the upcoming 2013 legislature. Along with that would also be the public itself with that advertising of this upcoming Saturday's (March 23rd, 2012) Save Texas Schools rally. 

In the end result, I completely agree in the saying, "Our children today, will be our Future tomorrow". They are the ones that will be the new fire fighters, police officers, computer programmers and so on. Without the right education, and special skills needed to perform in the job industry for the future to come, there won't be anyone professionally qualified to ensure faith in their production.
