Former state senator Steve Farley found himself in hot water on Thursday after he posted a tweet about school counselors in low-income neighborhoods.
“There is a severe shortage of counselors in our public schools — particularly in low-income neighborhoods — who are forced to focus more on disruptive students than those who have what it takes to succeed in college and lead our economy into the 21st century,” Farley, who is vying to become Tucson’s next mayor, tweeted on Thursday.
He later deleted the tweet, replacing it with a slightly different tweet.
