This is a weird way to show our disapproval for changing curricula in schools.

"For a rough estimate of the time required before a radioactive substance stops posing a threat to human health and the environment, multiply the element's half-life by 20. Thus, the storage time required for plutonium-239 is: 20x 24,300 years = 486,000 years."
Try this one: "Xenon-135, with a half-life of 9.1 hours, decays into Cesium-135, which has a half-life of 3 million years."
So 3 million x 20 = 60 million years. Good luck with that Texas.
STOP MAKING NUCLEAR WASTE!

Well, if they are thinking about seceding, this is a good parting gift.
I'm joking, this is just what we don't need more of. There's going to be a time when all the Gulf states are barren with how things are going lately. When are we going to learn?
