That makes them a candidate.

How could they do that? Farmers Branch IS the government.

From what I understand they are trying to get their schools operating solely on local money. Even getting donations. That means they can cut the ties and control of the feds in their affairs.
.

Schools get about 37% from local funds, 57% from the state and only 9% Federal money.

The federal govt. has little input over schools.

We have about 13 school teachers in our family. They hate the TAKS testing. Primarily because that's what they teach. It is the criterion for "No child left behind". The federal mandate.

If they can do that, then they might also be in line to circumvent the "gun free school zone /soft target" scenario.

I just saw another news bit this morning where a couple of kids were arrested, for planning/ attempting to take guns into school for a spree last week.

I sure wish the folks that push these rules would put signs in their front yards that they have gun free houses. Just prove it's a good idea to me.

You know Texas 'regulates the wearing of arms with a view to crime prevention.' That language has been used to lo long as a tool to prevent wearing or arms. It needs to be used as a tool to incorporate more wearing of arms.
