@NDFootball I’m from Lubbock,TX. My daughter attends ND law school and we got to attend the ND vs Navy game. Just magical. I’ve never been a fan of college football, but this year I was excited. Both TTU AND ND! I don’t know much about college football, but even I can tell this is unfair.
What happened between Jan. 29 and Feb. 7 that each of these rural #TxEd school districts had their state funding *instantaneously* cut by $550K, $750K, $900K, & $2.7M?!

Education isn’t broken because of teachers. It’s broken because we ask teachers to be counselors, social workers, parents, and miracle workers—while still demanding perfect test scores. Fix the system, not the people holding it together.
WATCH: “Instead of giving money to private schools that don’t take kids like me, please help public schools get better and fund them.”

“School choice” is a misnomer.
There is no choice for most parents in these voucher scams.
It’s the private school’s choice:
•Is your kid the right religion?
•Is your kid smart enough?
•Well behaved enough?
•Can the parents pay the rest of the $25k tuition?
Watch this powerful video by our friends at @RYHTexas now.
Then send it out on every network you have and everyone you know.
No vouchers in Texas. Not now. Not ever.

@GregAbbott_TX I’ve devoted my life to educating students in TX public schools. Healthy public schools are the backbone of democracy. Defunding is unethical.
