Bill comes in response to teacher concerns about violence in schools, but advocates worry about zero-tolerance
Texas teachers and school administrators could more easily kick misbehaving students out of class under a wide-ranging bill debated Wednesday.
In the weeks after the Uvalde massacre, a Lubbock Republican drew attention when he told his fellow lawmakers: “Not all kids belong in the classroom anymore.” Sen. Charles Perry pledged to tackle school discipline this session.
He echoed that refrain Wednesday in a Senate education committee hearing.
