Let's just cut to the chase.

The legislature is in session this year, and the big
scuttlebutt around the capitol is that TJJD (the Texas
juvenile prison system) is on the chopping block, hook,
line, and sinker. That's right - they want to make it
disappear completely.

So, what does that mean for Texas teachers? Well, TJJD
has been whittled down over the years to five units that
contain only the most extreme and violent offenders
including murderers, rapists, and all sorts of other
young perverts and capital offenders. The special ed
population of TJJD is about 48 to 50 percent. If TJJD
closes (and, I have it on VERY GOOD authority that it
will), that means that some of the older youth will be
sent on ahead to big-boy prison, and your local city and
county jail system will be be stuck with the rest of
these little darlings, and those yet to come. And, they
will have to be educated by the local school districts.
(Remember what "FAPE" means?)

Oh, I know some of you are going to say: "I work in an
inner city school and have dealt with the worst." Well,
let me tell you I have dealt with these kids first hand,
and you have no idea of the crap storm that is coming
your way. These are violent capital offenders. Some of
these kids have raped and/or killed people. Some of them
have raped and/or killed family members. Some are
certifiably insane, and, will jump up and expose
themselves in class every chance they get. I firmly
expect to see assaults on teachers go waaay up because
the districts will be ill-prepared to deal with these
animals.

My advice to you is that you better start making noise
about this RIGHT NOW. Make other teachers aware that
there is a real chance this will happen. Get on the horn
to your teacher org reps.

If you sit back and do nothing and this happens, you will
get what you deserve.
