Retired teacher questions choice of school raffles
Retired teacher Mary Eisenberg addressed the Lockhart ISD School Board Monday evening, thankful some projects helping students continue yet disturbed by others. Eisenberg commended all for Project Graduation, but added, “I was surprised to see that they are raising funds by raffling guns. In the pictures I saw, there were assault rifles. There have been 119 mass shootings this year. More than 700 children have died by suicide this year. It hasn’t been that long since the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde.
