“I think that they're removing them because they're asking questions and not just voting yes, even though most of them are voting yes, 99% of the time,” Hernandez said. “I don't think that's something that the TEA should be doing.” @meganmenchaca.bsky.social www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
