The TX taxpayer-funded voucher will mostly go to families w/kids already in private school.  In fact, TX taxpayers will be on the hook for the private school tuition of EVERY STUDENT ALREADY IN PRIVATE SCHOOL--leaving 5.5 million kids in neighborhood schools w/less $.

🧵WARNING: SB 2 IS NOT SCHOOL CHOICE — IT’S STATE CONTROL DISGUISED AS FREEDOM. 🚨 Parents, don’t be fooled. Texas Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) is being marketed as a “school choice” bill, but if you read the fine print, it’s clear: this is a government-regulated takeover of private,

That is certainly an interesting poll! Funny how real people asking straight forward questions to other real people gets very different answers. reporterstatesman.com/articles/506/v…

The Texas legislative branch is now meaningless. Both chambers are now just rubber stamps for the executive branch. My son and I risked our lives for freedom. #txlege won’t even risk their jobs to do what’s right. Cowards.

Pls join me in giving a big shout out of thanks to Gary VanDeaver & Dade Phelan for voting FOR their constituents yesterday while all the other R’s voted with the governor. It’s a sad day for TX public schools.

Republicans in the Texas House just passed Governor Abbott’s private school voucher scam. The history books will remember who gutted public education. We will look back on this day as one of the darkest in Texas history. Our kids deserve so much better.

"Abbott threatened to veto bills proposed by any Republican who voted in favor of Talarico’s amendment and told the lawmakers he would make their primary elections a “bloodbath.” This is not representative democracy. "The People's House" has failed the people of Texas.

#txlege Flipfloppers are now saying the voucher would have passed anyway. Voting diffently than what you believe is right is a morally bankrupt approach. It is 1930s German thinking. Go along to get along leads to catastrophe. All flippers are now #blockvote targets.

Rep Brian Harrison finally shows up to the hearing for his bill, doesn't understand his own bill, and gets roasted by Chair Jeff Leach and Reps Ann Johnson & Paul Dyson. Full video via Lege TV youtu.be/w-B35XDOxTs?si… #txlege

In his remarks before signing the school voucher bill, Greg Abbott trashed Texas public schools and said nothing about additional funding for public education - the Texas House's $8 billion proposal for that is stalled now in the Texas Senate #TxLege

Texans were told the voucher bill and public education funding would move in tandem. One was signed on Saturday and one has been sitting in the education committee since 4/23. When are 5.5 million kids going to got their funding?

It would be very hard to overstate the negative impact that the cumulative badmouthing of teachers by state leadership has had on employee morale. Unlike anything in my 31 years. Especially the radio silence on HB2 following the passage of vouchers/ESAs. This is not a
