One year ago—House Bill 6 is now law in the state of Texas—Stephanie Turner and Governor Greg Abbott embraced just after signing Tucker’s Law in honor of her 19-year-old son and so many others who died from fentanyl poisoning.
“A year later—I’m a little disappointed—her fight still far from over.”
“The state has still yet to implement solutions for schools to get this education.“
“Tucker’s Law required school districts to educate students about fentanyl. Including Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Week which must touch on the abuse and addiction of the deadly drug and suicide prevention.
“It’s up to each School District to decide how to talk about fentanyl.
“In my area, Leander ISD just released a 9-minute slideshow to their students. You know, we’re talking life or death. I think they’re worth more than 9 minutes to explain the depth of this crisis.”
Others, she says, have done better.
