Honestly, there are course that teach true memorization of the bar. No knowledge of law, just teaching how to pass.

I don't say that as a knock against practicing attorneys on this board, but if Kim Kardashian can practice law, why can't you?

It would be funny if it did somehow get on the ballot in November and then got shot down by a huge margin. Although Harris County might be dumb enough to vote yes for something like this.

As he dove into the job in March, working long hours, building on previous work by Hidalgo's staff, he tried to identify obstacles and untangle a labyrinth of competing interests. He sought guidance from local education experts, community leaders and a national group that helps municipalities navigate the winding process of establishing early childhood education programs.

After intense study, Ayala became convinced that the most successful model was organic, community led, with a timeline of at least two years. But he said Hidalgo and her staff made it clear that wasn't an option they had to make the November ballot. It wasn't just that the clock was ticking on federal funds, it was the worry, he said, that if they waited until 2026, Democratic commissioners up for re-election would never back a tax increase proposal on the same ballot that listed their names.

Ayala also wonders about other motivations: "It seemed like they were trying to develop a legacy issue in a very short manner, when legacies take time to develop."

Nevertheless, Ayala stayed on: "I wanted to be a part of the effort to try to steer it in the best possible way."

While the effort had strong partners, including Children at Risk and Collaborative for Children, Ayala said too much time was spent on rabbit trails, things that seemed to complicate an already complicated endeavor, such as soliciting letters of support from local school districts that had other priorities. Too little time was spent on collaborating with commissioners, he said. In the days before the vote, Ayala said he found himself essentially sidelined after pushing back on some of Hidalgo's contentions.
"It just absolutely fell apart at the end," he said.

Although Thursday's proceedings started with a respectable press conference and procession of supporters speaking at the mic, the dialogue quickly soured as commissioners tried to have their say and Hidalgo kept interjecting loudly.

"When she started encouraging the kids to chant, and interrupting Ramsey, and then when I saw her reaching for the charts, it just seemed like things had gotten so far out of control," Ayala said.

She's toast. She's too toxic for the Dems right now and will be for awhile. She'll claim they hated the minority judge if she gets replaced by an old white woman. Even if she is gay.

But what do we make of a leader who can't get a single colleague, including members of her own party, to vote for a concept he or she probably agrees with?

Decades of research shows that high-quality early education can be life-changing for kids, and a potential windfall for communities that earn back their investments by ultimately paying less for things like reading remediation and incarceration. Of course, "high quality" is the rub. For programs to succeed, they must be well-funded and carefully designed, a process that takes time, thoughtful collaboration and community involvement. Ask advocates in Travis County, who got it done in November.

It's not clear if Hidalgo understands this. In her interview with KPRC she seemed to suggest that any preschool program is a good one.
