    The alarming rate of suicide attempts by Texas high school students underscores the need to expand mental health counselors in our schools. A service that will also reduce potential gun violence. #txlegehttps://www.mysanantonio.com/opinion/editorials/article/A-suicide-epidemic-comes-into-focus-13038487.php …

        Please look at the suicide rate within the veteran and first responder community. Particularly the first responder community. Fire / EMS / Police. Subjected to horrific scenes daily but provided limited education / help

        Yes. Those indoctrinators really need to be corrected badly. Mental illness can be taught. Don't be afraid to call out the liberal bias in schools.

        When did we start calling it ‘liberal bias’ instead of ‘learning to think critically beyond one particular, narrow point of view’? Just b/c you disagree with it, that doesn’t make it biased. Open minded, independent thinkers sure do seem to scare you people...

        If you live in Texas we need to get @tedcruz into the Trump administration this November. Republicans need to stick together and write in Rick Perry for Senate so Cruz can get business done the right way in DC! Help spread the word!

        So you'll accept Medicaid expansion and strengthen ACA provisions or is this more lip service?

        Maybe you should focus on healthcare. You never expanded Medicaid so many poor kids do not have access to basic medical help. Stop acting like you care now after doing nothing but fighting ACA for years.

        How about making sure the children on medicaid can access mental health care as well! The clinics on medicaid are horrid. THERE'S A HUGE ACCESS TO CARE ISSUE!#txlege #PainAndProfit #ProtectTXFragileKids

        Holding gun owners responsible when their gun is used in a suicide/homicide/mass shooting will reduce gun violence.

        There should be a liability insurance requirement for all guns, just like with cars.

        Agree. But owners should be held criminally liable when their negligence results in death or injury.

        How about having mental health counselors at all levels of schooling? Why wait until they get to high school? Problems start young. Begin dealing with and helping young.
