I just finished registering my kids for Texas Education Freedom Accounts at https://t.co/lBFnQUUyfE! Simple process that only took about 15 minutes for 3 kids. Every Texas parent considering a private or homeschool education for their children should apply!

Thank you, @GregAbbott_TX, @BradBuckleyDVM, @SenCreighton, @AFPhq, @SchoolChoiceNow, @DeAngelisCorey, @TPPF, and everyone else who made this possible!

The Texas House will vote TONIGHT on whether to accept Senate amendments & more than TRIPLE state-mandated testing in our Texas public schools.

A “yes” vote will lock in the new & expanded SSTAR.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

HB 8 will more than TRIPLE state-mandated, standardized tests in Texas public schools.

Call your House member & tell them to vote NO on the senate version of HB 8. We must do better for our kids.

While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege

Rep. @JamesTalarico statement on the school finance deal, which provides a $0 increase to the Basic Allotment:

"The schoolhouse is burning to the ground — and instead of grabbing the fire hose, Texas Republicans are throwing a cup of water on the flames."

🚨 The Senate rewrite of HB 2 underfunds our public schools and enables different rules for charter schools through a teacher poaching allotment: https://t.co/81cSp9DBgn

BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has announced that the state has halted the construction of EPIC City, a proposed 402-acre Muslim-centric residential development.

It’s not conservative to steal $13.5 million per year from retired teachers so that charter profiteers could pocket the money. Thank you @TRTA #txlege

[Luke Macias @lukemaciastx]

Today teacher unions mounted a fight against Texas Public Charter Schools.

Over 60 Republicans supported the policy.

A handful of R's voted with nearly every Democrat to gut the bill.

Thank you @TerriLeoWilson & @CarlTepper for pushing this bill.

Over 1,000 students attend 3 private schools here in Texas that are owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) & are accredited in accordance with the fools choice/voucher bill, SB2, that just passed the House on 04/17.

Spring Education Group schools operate voucher schools in AZ but DeSantis revoked them from participating in the program in FL due to their connection with the CCP. There is nothing stopping Spring Education Group from applying to be a taxpayer funded private school in Texas.

If all 3 schools are approved & all currently enrolled students receive an ESA Texans will be funding $11M+ per year to the CCP owned schools.

I gave info to or told ALL 150 House Representatives about this & not 1 wanted to say a word about this on the floor or do anything about it. I spoke with GOP leadership about this & was told they are aware of the Islamic & CCP danger but thought it was best to just go ahead & pass the bill to please Abbott. They hope to fix this in future sessions……but they legally can’t, that pesky constitution & all.

The below pictured Spring Education Group schools mainly run daycares here in Texas. Keep that in mind when you hear the slogans “cradle to grave” & “womb to tomb” in how the government wants to be over us for our whole lives. Fort Worth mayor Mattie Parker uses these slogans. They need our babies as early as possible so they can indoctrinate them & break that parent/child bond.

.@EllenTroxclair wore an “I ❤️ Public Schools” sticker… until it was time to fight for them.

She peeled it off and stood up for private school vouchers instead.

Texas kids need more than a photo op and a sticker—they need champions. #txlege
