Readers explain why some students won’t earn much; don’t support subsidies for power sources; talk about the Wings possible draft pick; and aren’t happy with the Dallas Cowboys.Re: “Dallas County Grads Likely Won’t Earn Enough — Study finds that students aren’t leaving school with skills, education sufficient to support themselves,” Monday editorial.All of us who live in Dallas have a vested interest in the future success of our kids.
Are we now talking about equal opportunity power source subsidies? What ever happened to the idea that the government should not be picking electric power source winners and losers by providing subsidies? Government subsidies distort the real price of electricity hidden by the taxes we pay. There must be compelling evidence such subsidies are in the public interest, and the real cost of the subsidies must be disclosed.Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have already declared their intention to have the Texas Legislature vote on school vouchers.
It doesn’t seem to matter to them that the people have spoken through their representatives against vouchers. As Rogers points out, it ‘s our public schools and teachers who are paying the price for their unyielding crusade. Quit holding them hostage!I’m delighted that the Wings got the first pick in the WNBA draft. Paige Bueckers is an excellent possible first choice, although there are other strong candidates.
