Bad Bill Buckley needs to be replaced and his bills need to be repealed.

“The evidence was presented again and again through testimony, reports, articles, presentations, and public comments.
The Legislature cannot claim it did not know.
The evidence has been sitting in committee records and hearing testimony for years.
The truth is not that parents failed to warn lawmakers.
The truth is that too many lawmakers chose not to listen.
Nothing exposes this failure more clearly than the special education scandal.
For nearly two decades, Texas artificially limited special education enrollment.
Thousands of children who should have received services never received them. Families struggled to obtain evaluations. Students with disabilities went unidentified and unsupported.
Everyone knew.
Districts knew.
TEA knew.
The Legislature knew.
Yet the system remained in place.
Today many of the same institutions responsible for creating the crisis are holding hearings about fixing it.
Meanwhile teachers remain overwhelmed. Special education departments remain understaffed. Families continue fighting for services.” ~ @Woodyboy2020

@KyleSeraphin must read to understand the mess that Globalist Greg the RINOS and @GregAbbott_TX Democrat political appointee as Education Commish https://t.co/1BKtPsrpUD
What she’s saying is that if you go up against the voucher subsidy lobbyists, you deserve to be targeted with hit pieces from their media arm funded by a billionaire who used that same media arm to promote vouchers.
I am a conservative who not only ran **twice** against Democrats in Dallas County, but also tried to help other conservatives win elections.
I wasn’t paid for that.
The only mask I wear is the one Abbott drove me to wear under his emergency power grab.
Little tyrants everywhere.
Agreed.
By virtue of their $11B voucher coupon for private school tuition, they violated multiple RPT principles.
They continue to grow ⬆️ government while sitting on Abbott’s lap to win favor.
Regarding social issues, do you thinks it’s odd how Republican education activists working for the oligarchy never mention SB 123 (SEL/CASEL bill) signed by Abbott (87th) and authored by two Democrats from Dallas?
That bill brought us government scoring of character traits through social emotional learning standards created by the @caselorg framework.

DEI driver and Dallas ISD trustee Byron Sanders was listed on Mike Morath’s application to be the gubernatorial appointment as TEA Commissioner.
Morath has been advocating for these formal SEL standards (TEKS) since he was a trustee in Dallas ISD. @TXSBOE
This is another step in the shift away from academic knowledge to non-cognitive skills and changing attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors.
Listen to Morath champion this agenda back in 2016 (H/T @Woodyboy2020)

The $20B omnibus bill House Bill 2 which passed last session (89th) has a major glitch.
It was largely written and lobbied for by @Commit2Dallas and @williamstodd78 and his Texas Impact Network.
I testified against it here:
https://t.co/HWl6MjUBZy
Seven ISDs were caught in a funding loss, including Dallas ISD, which missed out on $130M in funding (pointed out by @johnbryantfortx) that was promised under HB2. #txed
According to @leachfortexas the “runs” (fiscal notes) are always wrong.
It was a bait & switch bill and a veneer of school funding. 💸
These were not “unintended consequences” and instead of having Morath on the hot seat, he sent one of his TEA minions, Amy Copeland.
She is woefully unprepared to answer questions.
