I said it before, will say it again... Only in the #txlege does "all teachers" mean less than 10% of teachers statewide and ZERO librarians, janitors, music/arts teachers, etc. Texans need to demand an increase to the basic allotment. #JustFundEd

Every child, no matter their race background, or genders, should have the freedom to learn an education that prepares them for the future. #SB12 would ban diversity, equity & inclusion in Texas schools. Call the members of the House Public Ed Committee & tell them to vote no!

"SB37 will greatly harm the reputation of our universities &lead to a brain drain of faculty &students…We are grateful to the reps who supported faculty on the floor, &will continue to work with them to oppose state overregulation of higher ed”—quoting us texastribune.org/2025/05/24/tex…

Rep. @JamesTalarico responds to Texas Republicans forcing teachers to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom: "It not only violates the separation of church and state in this country, but it also violates the core teachings of Christianity." #txlege

SB 13 would force schools to remove books labeled “sexually explicit” using vague, politically motivated definitions that censor diverse voices. I offered an amendment to strike “profanity”—because FCC rules were never meant to decide what books students can read. #txlege
