Children don’t need librarians and books! They need in-school detention centers!

2/3 of kids who aren’t reading at grade level by 4th grade end up in prison or on welfare. Why would Texas want to reduce literacy in their schools?
Easier to control your populace if they just have a 4th grade education and are directly dependent on the government to eat. But don't worry about the Texan economy, they'll be more than happy to siphon unearned money from blue states that actually create something of value instead of more culture war bullshit
