#SchoolVouchers:

❌Terrible academic outcomes;
❌Bailouts for sub-prime private schools;
❌Tax breaks for parents already able to afford tuition.
❌Discriminatory admissions—it’s the school’s choice not school choice.

Not listing public education funding, accountability reform, school safety, teacher pay or special-Ed funding demonstrates a lack of awareness & support for 5.5 million children. Some can be bought & paid for, but not a majority of Texans. So it begins..

Even though high schools improved in all areas, ratings will most likely drop across TX as a result of implementing new cut scores without a transition year. This is an unprecedented method of applying new standards, which confirms many political suspicions. Time will tell.

Jesus! Can't make this up

Adrienne Martin finally had enough of extremists in her deep-red community trying to get books banned and to inject religion into her child’s school. Listen to her kick-ass speech before the Granbury Texas school board. It’s going viral for a reason. @MrsAMartini

Remember in November these Republican members of Congress had their PPP loans forgiven, but were against student loan relief.

Powerful lecture from Jackie Goldberg of the Los Angeles school board on protests against a children’s book with one sentence about families with two moms or dads. She says this is personal for her and really lets loose at the end.

I am confused? Why fund the Teacher Vacancy Task Force and listen to NONE of what was suggested? I have stayed quiet long enough— I am frontline to Texas Public Education. Our future deserves better. #txlege #txed

[Jamie Wilson, Ed.D. @jkwilsiii]

To all educators across the state, you are the only state employees not getting a raise, our state values you less than school choice vouchers. Please see this letter from @KingForTexas regarding efforts in the house. @GregAbbott_TX promised to fully fund public schools.He failed

“Republican politicians are banning books in the name of protecting children.

Republican politicians are banning drag queens in the name of protecting children.

But they won’t lift a finger to address the leading cause of death for children in the United States: gun violence.”

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

Texas Republicans are trying to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

I told the bill author: “This bill is not only un-constitutional and un-American, it’s deeply un-Christian.” #txlege
