Never doubt that great things are happening in Texas public schools! 👊 Our public schools overflow with people who work tirelessly to improve outcomes and well-being for all our students. ❤️ Thank you Leslie Milder & Scott Milder from FOTPS for telling the story of #TxEd!

Let us translate Greg Abbott’s doublespeak about so-called “school choice:” “Without vouchers, much of my electoral base, whose kids are already in private schools, won’t get the government handout my GOP competitors in other states are now providing.” #txlege #txed

Hey 99.5 The Wolf can we have George Strait day on the 18th of every month?! I haven’t listened to the radio all day in YEARS but I haven’t turned you guys off all day!!

Hey #txed and #txlege friends. $500M is the ONE YEAR cost for vouchers for school year 2024-25 if SB1 takes effect. So, the cost could be $1 billion or more for the next biennium. SB 1 is an entitlement program without transparency or accountability. Not conservative.
