HOUSTON ISD: FIRST MONTH OF THE HOSTILE STATE TAKEOVER AND OCCUPATION BY MEATAXE MIKE MILES
Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats because we have a wild story for you today. It's a tale of hostile takeovers, meat axes, and yes men. That's right, we're talking about the recent occupation of the Houston Independent School District by the state of Texas.
The state decided to install their own guy, a certain MeatAxe Mike Miles, as the czar of the district. Now, if you're not familiar with ole MeatAxe Mike , let us fill you in. He's the same guy who used a meat axe to chop up the Dallas Independent School District. And by meat axe, we mean he made some pretty drastic changes that left a lot of people unhappy.
But Mike Miles is back, and he's badder than ever. He's promised to replace all the principals in Houston with his own "yes men." We're not sure what qualifications these yes men have, but we're guessing they're pretty good at nodding their heads and saying "yes, boss."
But that's not all. Mike Miles is also planning to install a two-tier salary system to screw with the union and divide the teachers. Because, you know, nothing brings people together like a good old-fashioned salary divide.
Now, we don't want to be too negative here, but we should mention that state takeovers of school districts seldom produce any positive changes in school operations. In fact, they often lead to more privatization and division in the district.
But hey, who needs positive changes when you've got a meat axe-wielding czar and his army of yes men? We're sure they'll figure it all out eventually. Or not.
In conclusion, we hope this story has entertained you and maybe even made you chuckle a bit. We'll be keeping an eye on the situation in Houston and we'll let you know if anything else wild and crazy happens. Until then, stay tuned and keep laughing.
