This. Is. Hysterical. Let's get this straight. YOU have NOTHING to do with this. “You will continue to invest in schools”?!?!? You mean, YOU will continue to defund public education and withhold billions of dollars from the kids who need it the most. DO BETTER. #AbbottsGotToGo
Texas is a national leader in education.
Our state’s high school graduation rate is among the highest in the nation.
We will continue to invest in our schools—and our students—to build a brighter future.
This is because our Governor @GregAbbott_TX is bought and paid for by Tim Dunn. It's really sad that one man is running our great state and he's not even in office. Get it together, @GovAbbott. Do better. #AbbottsGotToGo
Don't get it twisted: School districts are considering layoffs, closing schools, and cutting programs because @GregAbbott_TX held hostage school funding and teacher pay raises for his voucher scam - a scam rejected by Republicans and Democrats

Did you know that only 18% of registered voters vote in primary elections? That’s less than 1% of the state’s population!
Your vote matters! Recent local elections have been decided by less than 50 votes.
Today is the last day to vote early. Election Day is March 5.
The House is considering HB 1 which includes a voucher system that will cost $2B by the second year of the program - a significant new financial burden for the state while public schools remain underfunded by $14B+.

Some of you may be seeing all the money our Governor is spending on things like planes, private school events, and special sessions. Here’s the bottom line. #txed#txlege#vOUCHersHurt
@GregAbbott_TX A move from California to Texas could cost $4K in public school funding. Many Americans are opting out.
Texas is the #47 public education funding destination.
California is #33.
Texas will remain #47 thanks to a privatization agenda, lack of leadership, & $ ties to lobbyists.
Texas is America’s #1 destination!
According to @uhaul, there were more ONE-WAY moves to Texas in 2022 than any other state.
Texas is the top destination for families and businesses because we give them the freedom and opportunity to thrive.
Reading & math scores plummet as racial and sexual activism replace academics in schools.
Instead of prioritizing data-proven methods to close gaps in literacy & math, some public schools have spent time on political agendas.
We’re changing that in TX. https://t.co/Gp8ElhF8qH
Competing in collegiate sports is the dream of a lifetime for many young women.
That dream is under threat from those who would allow biological men to compete against them.
Not in Texas.
I signed a law to protect the integrity of women’s collegiate sports.
@GregAbbott_TX STOP ALL THIS NONSENSE. You create a false narrative DAILY for Texas public education. Enough already. Visit a classroom and see the truth. You are tone deaf, sir. SO SAD. You couldn’t care less about our kids as long as your pockets are full. Disgusting.
”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.
He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.
This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.
This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.”
