The feds would be involved if going to school was prevented for any group. What is taught is up to the state. The only thing the feds control is funding. Taking federal funding for schools could be controlled by those subjects.

Website:
the federal government contributes about 12 percent of direct funding for elementary and secondary schools nationally, the amount varies considerably from state to state.

That's a good point, funding can and often is used to sway state level policy. Look at raising the drinking age from 18 to 21, that was done with Federal Highway Funds.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Texas cop arrested after shooting woman ‘multiple times’ in off-duty driving dispute

Stoneburner left his vehicle armed with a gun and pointed it at Murray, shooting her “multiple times,” police say. Murray told KWTX she was returning to her truck after seeing the gun when she was shot.

“When I turned around to run back to my truck and get out of there, I just heard pop, pop, pop, pop, and all I could do was bend over and duck,” Murray told KWTX.

Two guys with rocks is a revenge killing or self defense.

Nah, has to be at least 6. Preferably 12 for a capital "trial".

It's a good thing Texas took control of the energy grid out of the hands of inefficient government bureaucracy and put it into the hands of the efficient private sector. :sarcasm:

Texas wants to borrow $6.5 billion for outstanding bills from February’s freezeout. You’ll pay.

A Texas man who killed a woman and shot her husband because they supported Joe Biden has been charged with murder


A Texas man has been charged with murdering a woman and shooting her husband because they voted for Joe Biden, reports say.

On 14 November 2020, Georgette Kauffman was shot and killed in her garage, and her husband Daniel was shot through their front door, but survived.

Police have now charged Joseph Angel Alvarez, 38, with the crime, after finding emails in which he admitted to targeting the Kauffmans because they had a Joe Biden flag and a "doll of Trump hanging" outside their house, documents show.

According to the affidavit, seen by local outlet KDBC-TV, Alvarez approached the Kaufmanns' home on Copper Avenue in El Paso, Texas, armed with a shotgun.

Documents say he found Georgette, 50, in the detached garage and shot and killed her.

Attorney Georgette had just arrived home from work, police said, and the vehicle's engine was still on and the driver's side door was ajar.

Alvarez then attempted to enter the main residence but found that the wrought iron door locked, the documents said.

Hearing noises and thinking his wife was outside, Daniel Kauffman approached the entrance, at which point the killer shot through the door several times.

Daniel Kauffman told KFOX14 that he was shot at five times, once in the head, once in the shoulder, and once in the wrist. He said two of the shots did not strike him.

While investigating the murder, police obtained a search warrant that uncovered emails sent from Alvarez revealing his extreme political and religious views.

In an email to a US army intelligence group, Alvarez said abortions were "Jewish child sacrifice", and that "pro-choice" people were part of a "Jewish Satanist Party," according to KFOX14.

He also wrote that he believed Democrats were liars.

According to the outlet, Alvarez attached images of Memorial Park in El Paso to the email, which he said was a "ritualistic satanic ground to conduct abortions by the manner of magic."

The killer said in the email that he targeted the Kauffmans' home, which was on Memorial Park because he had seen pro-Biden and anti-Trump paraphernalia outside of the house.

The court documents note that the house on Copper Avenue displayed Democrat posters and LGBTQ flags.

Police arrested Alvarez outside his place of employment, KFOX14 said.

Alvarez is currently being held at the El Paso County Jail, according to the outlet.

Daniel Kauffman said that he was relieved to hear that Alvarez had been charged, but that it wouldn't bring his wife back, the local outlet reported.
