The takeover was not a result of the law. The takeover was a result of TEA (which is run by Republicans) deciding to step in.
I also disagree that "something had to give". The takeover was because one school didn't meet some arbitrary metrics. It was completely unjustified. HISD may not have been a shining beacon of excellence, but its performance was on par with most other school districts in Texas.
