So, this is interesting. I wonder if Abbott finally stepped in it here, since threatening the school district like this is an oblique threat to PARENTS for supporting "innappropriate protests". (So Abbott determines what's appropriate to protest now?)

"Isolated and stressed, they seek relief from direct care workers — about 30 percent of whom are immigrants who form the backbone of dementia care."
As more Americans live with dementia, a simultaneous care worker shortage is forcing families to manage their parents’ complex needs alone.

So... if you're a rich nepo baby whose grandpa got rich fleecing miners in a whorehouse he built on property he didn't own, you're an AMERICAN. But if you're a woman of color born in Mogadishu who married a millionaire white venture capitalist, you're a DIRTY PIRATE.
