#SchoolVouchers quickly become dominant sources of funding for financially distressed schools 👏 and churches👏.
This is what Texas’s “School Choice Sunday” is actually about👇
Gov. Abbott announced a 30-day special session to begin Oct. 9 to provide private school subsidies, also known as vouchers, or education savings accounts. @TomballISD strongly opposes vouchers in any form. Public $'s belong in Public Schools #TeamTomball#DestinationExcellence

Learned about the McKinney-Vento Act at a faculty meeting today.
Tell me, will voucher-accepting private schools:
- take in kids living in a motel due to multiple evictions, or homeless kids?
- admit a new kid to class without all necessary documentation?
The problem with the pushback that “new schools will open and more public kids will come!” is:
Research shows those pop-up #schoolvouchers schools tend to be worst of all, have the highest exit and fastest closure rates.
More students enter, yes, but even fewer are well-served.
The Texas National Guard continues to use multiple tools to deter illegal immigrants. The use of several layers of fencing deters would-be crossers. Those who still make their way across the border are turned back by Soldiers who patrol the area.
Gov Abbott’s TEA is sabotaging our neighborhood schools to justify expanding taxpayer burden to include private schools lacking any oversight. #txlege#txed#VouchersAreTaxes https://t.co/CnYrv7mKid

New Arkansas numbers: Less than 5% of #schoolvouchers users were ever public school students.
31% are kindergartners so 👉 ~65% of voucher users👈 were already in private school.
That 7/10 rate of existing private rate across states continues.

From bullying legislators to co-opting church pulpits, the governor and the billionaires behind him are determined to defund public schools.

Throughout history, resiliency has always been one of public education’s most dependable strengths. The will of an educator to stand with a child & serve selflessly has overcome a pandemic, united communities & minimized excessive mandates. Politics will be no different.
Wow, those vouchers must really be a great deal for all Texans.
Otherwise, why would Abbott have to stoop so low as to literally bully his political opponents in the House?
Because he doesn’t have the votes and he knows it. That’s why.
The Texas National Guard continues to post at areas along the Texas-Mexico border to deter and detect trans-national criminals entering the United States illegally. Engineers on Operation Lone Star have placed miles of concertina-wire fencing to stop illigal immigrants.
The @texasdemocrats blast Abbott's special session agenda:
“The Republican Party of TX is currently operating in a state of chaos – and the only uniting factor is their hatred for migrants and teachers." #txlege
