Gotta ask? Texas?

I tried living there for three years. Could not cope. I will be sharing your piece with my daughter - a high school teacher/mother of an 18 mo. old who shares your concerns but , thank God, doesn't have too many "straight up MAGA assholes" in her classroom this year. Of course, we're in California and you know what MAGA-types think of Californians on the progressive side of the aisle.
