I'd like to note that like many of the other questions on this survey, asking for the "most important" amongst a complex scenario of a lot of equally important subjects really does a disservice to the issues at hand. With that said, if I had to choose one topic that grossly harms k-12 public education in Texas, it would be the absolutely ignorant adults who try to force their narrowed and uneducated views into the lessons and the school books. I'm not going to get started on how Texas school books are selected because I will end up ranting. Our schools are flawed because the adults governing them are often grotesquely unqualified to make the decisions they're making. Education should not be about religious, social, or cultural opinions. There are some schools who do their best to get things right, provide opportunity, and seek to empower the youth to be more intelligent and compassionate than previous generations. The majority do not. Money's thrown at football and other sports, but not at educational programs. School boards allow loudmouthed, boneheaded, and apparently very uneducated parents to promote hate, stupidity, and social intolerance during their meetings. When decisions are made about things like school uniforms, dress code, or backpacks it's obvious there's a real lack of social and economic understanding going into the decisions. And, I suppose that while there's definitely people who'd fall under a different label also causing ignorance based problems and ruining their children's opportunities for an excellent education, if I had to choose one or two words to describe the problem with today's k-12 education it'd be "Evangelicals" or "Evangelical Christians".
