The #txlege crowd pushing vouchers “because poor kids trapped in failed schools” are the same folks denying poor kids food security.

@GregAbbott_TX denied poor children federal summer meal money.

His “choice“ was not to feed kids trapped in hunger.

@BrianaReports Miles had to keep them at school long enough to collect the ADA $ for the day.

@BrianaReports @HoustonISD @HISDSupe Some schools with no A/C like Heights HS were allowed to let students go home, but only after ADA was taken. It is about the $, not the students.

[Lisa Deslaurier @LisaDeslaurier]

@AbbieKamin @TeamHISD @ghostofheights @Heights_PTO They closed for the day because ADA was taken. There was no regard for students and staff, only for money.

Among most male frogs and toads, croaking is a way to say, “Don’t mess with my gal.”

But when rushing streams and waterfalls drown out these warnings, more than 40 species have come up with a different strategy. https://t.co/CtRj4z4tVj

Hey #txlege #paleg: When you see industry-funded stuff like EdChoice’s 123’s report counting favorable #schoolvouchers studies, what they’re trying to do is obscure the basic fact that:

📣The bigger and more recent the program the worse the result 📣

[Josh Cowen @joshcowenMI]

With #schoolvouchers as with so many other regressive policies, “eligibility” is not the same as access.

Private schools retain authority to determine their own version of eligibility.

So it’s the school’s choice not #SchoolChoice

[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]

There is a concerted attack on public schools in Texas. This is a map of the money and groups out front leading the charge.

Yes, it is elected leaders like Abbott, Patrick, and other lawmakers, but it's billionaires, PACs, and Organizations pulling the strings.
