I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to prioritize gun safety this year. 125 people are killed by guns every day, so we canโt afford inaction. Send a message to your lawmakers now: https://t.co/JUwAzrk0c6 @Everytown
I thought special sessions were for emergency situations. Vouchers are not an emergency. Whatโs the governors rush? Trying to hurry before people reach out to their legislators? #NoVouchersTN
School vouchers were initially sold with the ruse of helping low-income families find better schools for their children. Now, as vouchers are going universal, itโs the wealthy who are benefiting. https://t.co/9BPpGjpHI7

There is speculation that Gov. Lee might call a special legislative session to push through his private school voucher program. [Special sessions are generally called to deal with emergency issues. Is passage of vouchers an emergency?] https://t.co/l86YBWIhCC
-the schools โchooseโ who they take
-kids with disabilities will be left behind
-public school budgets get decimated
Etc.
Yโall are helping @GovBillLee with this framing.
Strange, same thing happened in TN. Coincidence? I wonder if there was any billionaire and special interest influence in TX, like there was in TN? @GovBillLee and TN legislators need to know this does not equal a public mandate. #NoVouchersTN
Re: Vouchers in TN - why donโt all the billionaires and special interest groups from outside TN just fund scholarships for kids to attend private schools?Theyโve spent money on buying legislators, TV ads and who knows what else. You want kids to go to private schools, you pay for that to happen. #NoVouchersTN
The last 8 years have been the best years of my life. My kids have grown up attending countless games, drama performances, and basketball camps. Itโs all they know. It breaks my heart that Iโm leaving, but I know itโs best for my family. I will forever be a Blackman Blaze.
