 The writing in this article is extraordinarily awful, but it brings to light an equally awful situation.

Short version: In order to punish teachers who quit during the school year, Texas voids their teacher certification, meaning they can't teach =anywhere=. Not only does this highlight the continuing war against teachers by the GOP, it is also beyond foolish. In the middle of the biggest teacher shortage in American history, Texas is kicking teachers out of the profession AND discouraging existing teachers from coming to Texas AND discouraging young people from becoming teachers.
