No left turns for "slow readers" into the Eanes ISD elementary campus? WHEN RIGHT IS WRONG ...
Austin American-Statesman link here “The sign meant if people were slowing down to read the marquee, to move in the right lane” to prevent traffic slowdowns, said Eanes spokeswoman Dale Whitaker, who spoke to the school principal this morning. “(She) did say that some parents didn’t understand what they meant, so they changed it.”

Is this the best they can come up with? Seriously. The sign did not say “slow traffic” or “slow drivers.” It said “slow READERS.”
Besides, this was the only thing on the marquee. No need to slow down to read copy-heavy signs. Even the slowest drivers can make out four huge words at 20 mph in a school zone. These drivers have to pass a vision test, after all.
Come ON, Eanes ISD. Suck it up, issue an apology, fire the geniuses who thought this was cute, and quit insulting the rest of us that we must all be so SLOW as to buy this PR spin you’re selling. We’re not buying.
Simmerdown - You must be one of the “geniuses” who finds a joke targeting young children with academic difficulties “cute.” And by those responsible for educating them, no less.
So you agree Eanes ISD is lying then - they weren’t playing traffic control and were intending to make light of children with learning difficulties. Well, thanks for stating the obvious.
You know what else would brighten your day? A sign outside of the cafeteria that reads: Fat Kids - Keep Out. Oh the laughs to be had at the expense of such easy targets! Why don’t you suggest that to Eanes as their next practical joke. It would be such a fun world you live in, when everything’s so knee-slapping, gut-busting hilarious. Then again, when you have a lobotomy, not much offends. ‘Tis a far shorter trip to the land of blissful ignorance. Enjoy your stay.
