Community based athletics is what makes Texas different! I have coached NFL players who were on our jv their sophomore year but they trusted the process and competed every day! They didn’t jump to the next school because it was easier. They grew in competition!
Standing ovation for @BurnsForTexas after he said this community doesn't like to be bullied. @GregAbbott_TX and allied organizations are against Burns for his opposition to school vouchers
For those following Greg's sales pitch and effort to unseat conservative Republicans who were against vouchers...consider these points:
(1) District 55 Republicans and Democrats were clearly against school vouchers and the continued underfunding of public schools.
(2) Greg's only cited support was from the results of the survey his administration created. This survey was cleverly worded to misconstrue parent empowerment and failed to speak to ramifications for public/neighborhood schools.
(3) @ShineforTexas is a longstanding CTX conservative caught up in Greg's political drama. Shine listened to his voters...the local people who make up his district. Abbott wanted Shine to dismiss his voters and instead support the agenda of Billionaires (not from Central Texas) and special-interest PACs (not from Texas at all).
(4) If you care about facts rather than ideology...the empirical evidence is clear in terms of the lack of efficacy of vouchers as well as the detrimental effect on public schools and state budgets.
**Don't fall prey to narrative. Let local officials do their job...listen to local constituents in a way that best represents their interests.
ENOUGH!

Because @GovAbbott and Texas Republicans put all their energy into their failed school voucher push, Texas schools are about to lose more than $300 million in special education funding.
Our most vulnerable kids are at risk because Abbott puts political stunts over people.
As a Dad, a professor and former public school teacher/assistant principal/principal, and as a 6th generation Beltonian (Belton, Texas) I implore voters to look past the millions of dollars being spent by PACS (NOT from Texas) on disingenuous information, and instead read the bipartisan research on how vouchers will destroy public schools as we know it.

I cannot stop watching this interview.
Coaches, show this interview to your team ASAP.
In a world of entitlement and quick gratification, this is so refreshing to see.
👀👀👀👀👀I can’t believe we are still talking about this. We have school choice! Home school, private school, that’s choice. We the public schools take all that do not choose that route. Kids with special needs, behavioral issues, homeless, and we don’t turn anyone away!
