Educon "News"The royal governor of Texas pushed through his plan to pay for public education in Texas by charging a $5 fee per person for those who visit adult entertainment-strip clubs-venues. He also added extra education taxes to cigaretts and alcohol, i.e., he is funding education with 'sin' taxes. Texans are encouraged to sin freely and often. In response to the new legislation, schools have begun selling cigarettes and alcohol in their vending machines and created smoking lounges for students. School calendars which advertise local businesses that support the schools have replaced their common advertisers with ads from "Bably Dolls" and "Ricks" plus "Bud Light" and "Malboro". Dozens of schools have changed their mascots to camels. Selected school sponsors have donated poles to be added to the dance rooms for use by the drill team and dance classes. Schools receive extra funding for these classes now since they are now considered job training classes. Dancers from various clubs have volunteered to help with dance classes and drill team choreography. Attendance at home football games has increased by over 300% as the videos advertising businesses on the scoreboard are now provided by the new sponsors. Representative Com N. Sense suggested an education tax on guns and ammo sold in Texas but this was quickly dropped in response to an impassioned speech by Rep N. R. Aye, who supported a $50 fee for a Texas id card to allow people to vote, as being an unconstitutional and, more importantly, an unTexan tax on a basic human right to own as many guns as one wants. Instead, Rep Aye said that gun owners should get a tax credit for every gun that they buy.
