“I’m too old and too tired to waste many words here. This bill is a skunk that we’re trying to pass off as a kitty cat.”
Roy Knight, retired educator from Lufkin may have had best (but too short) comment at the School Choice/Voucher hearing in wee hours of Wed morn #Txlege#txed
School shooting in Madison, WI. Police chief said
“Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass & metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools HAVE to. That’s the question that needs to be asked”
@IamBranum I remember sobbing and Bob not talking for 5 hours in the car ride home. Then, first happy phone call from the dorm and all was good! Hang in there, Mom!❤️😎
Tax dollars for teachers are from me & the people of Texas - the $$ don’t belong to Gov. Abbott. The people have spoken - Pay the teachers & fund students.
A Master Class on Failed Leadership: With a massive budget surplus at hand, Abbott is holding teacher salaries hostage amid massive inflation in a state that had 50k teachers leave their positions last yr & ranks 41st for school funding. This is not about kids, evidence, or the future of Texas - this is about how our democratic system is corrupted by a few radical billionaires demanding vouchers despite any grassroots support. @MomsAGAbbott@TexasAFT@txstateteachers@DianeRavitch@pastors4txkids@DisRightsTx #Txlege https://t.co/hJeEpYd36L
