Let’s go!!! @TexasFootball @TexasTechFB
SPOT THE BALL!!

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This year, the world saw the worst from Texas.

❌ Extreme abortion bans
❌ Ken Paxton’s acquittal
❌ Private school voucher scams

And all of it can be traced back to two billionaires from West Texas…

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

The Texas House has spoken — and DEFEATED voucher scams!

I’m proud to stand with the bipartisan, pro-public school majority.

Our public schools and students will always come before politics. #txlege

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

Playing politics to benefit the few—often the wealthy few—over the many is not how we should make education policy.

The voucher effort reduced our children to bargaining chips.

Today we rejected that. #txlege

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

We did it.

We just defeated Greg Abbott's voucher scam.

The People’s House has spoken. I’m so proud of the bipartisan coalition in the Texas House that defended our schools and our kids.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Vouchers don’t help poor kids — they just help rich parents who already send their kids to private school.

I asked if Greg Abbott’s voucher scam would give $80,000 to wealthy CEOs.

The answer was YES. #txlege

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Greg Abbott is the reverse Robin Hood — he steals from the poor to give to the rich.

His voucher scam will bankrupt public schools to help rich parents pay for private school.

Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. #txlege

[David DeMatthews @DrDeMatt]

Vouchers were 1st proposed in TX in 1956 to stop school integration after the Brown decision. Today, voucher advocates REMAIN COMMITTED TO PUBLICLY-FUNDED DISCRIMINATION. Listen to the shameful response of the voucher bill author to a proposal to add text to prohibit discrimination. @TexasAFT @MomsAGAbbott @pastors4txkids @txstateteachers @RYHTexas @DianeRavitch @joshcowenMSU

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

Let’s do math!
The Texas Senate voucher proposal calls for:
- $500,000,000 to be set aside for the program
- $8,000 voucher per student
- That’s 62,500 possible vouchers (ignore pesky fees)
- With 5,518,432 in public Ed, that’s 1.1% who could get a voucher

Universal 😂 #txlege

[Representative Ray Lopez @raylopezfortx]

"83 of us voted NO to vouchers" - Representative Ray Lopez.

The Texas House stood firm against vouchers, voting against them twice.

Our message is clear: Public dollars are for public schools.

Vouchers divert tax dollars to private and lottery based admission schools, from public schools who will teach any and every student who comes in the door, regardless of their abilities or behavior.

I say 'no' to any taxpayer-funded voucher scam that takes money from public schools and funnels it into unaccountable private institutions.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.

So they’ve paid for a bunch of poll-tested slogans to sell their scam.

Here’s how to debunk each slogan in 1 minute… #txlege
