@GregAbbott_TX Define woke & indoctrination?
As educators, we follow curriculum established by the Texas Education Agency that has been in your direct control for 8 years & R control for 28 yrs.
As a parent, I want my kids alert to racial prejudice & discrimination for an inclusive society.
Billionaire mega-donors are funding this voucher effort.
The "school choice" movement started in the 1950s after Brown v. Board of Education desegregated public schools.
This is part of a decades-long plot to resegregate schools—to separate the rich from the rest of us.
Voucher scams will dismantle public education.
Texas already ranks 43rd in the nation for school funding.
Voucher scams would siphon off billions from public schools to subsidize private education for the wealthy few.
Public schools accept all children.
No questions asked.
Private schools select their children.
That’s why they are private.
Public tax dollars should support ONLY public schools.
Private money should pay for private schools.
Any questions?

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 399-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives at the expense of workers.
There is nothing grassroots about the billionaire-backed voucher campaign.
It’s not about “choice.”
It’s about dismantling #txed.
It hurts poor & rural kids.
It’s a handout to the rich. From the poor.
Reverse Robin Hood.
Call #txlege today!
No vouchers in Texas! Ever!
Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open.
Those loans were forgiven.
Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.
@pastors4txkids @GregAbbott_TX Gov. Abbott is throwing a temper tantrum. If he doesn’t get what he wants (vouchers for kids already in private schools!), nothing passes. Just say no. Kids who get vouchers get indoctrinated, not educated. In other states, 75-80% of kids who use vouchers never went to pub schs.
Hate government? Park your car.
Gov’t built roads you drive on. Walk everywhere instead.
But not on sidewalks. Gov’t built them.
Thirsty? Don’t drink water. Gov’t purified it.
Tired? Don’t sit on park benches. Gov’t put them in.
Still anti-government??

The voucher push is designed to do one thing & one thing only:
Subsidize private & religious schools that don’t—and won’t—accept all kids.
That’s why vouchers are a corruption of God’s Common Good.
Public schools accept ALL children!
Vouchers are wrong. Oppose them!

Don't be fooled. What voucher supporters are calling "school choice" is really the school choosing the student. #nced#ncpol @pastors4nckids @EveryChildNC #ncteachers@PTA4AllKids
We must NEVER have another legislative session like this one.
#txlege has done everything but what the People of Texas sent them to do.
Everything on the fear-mongering fringe.
While the servants of God’s Common Good—#txed schoolteachers— suffer.
Enough @GregAbbott_TX!
America shouldn't be a place where our children have to scan their classroom or a movie theater for their exit options.
Enough is enough: Congress must ban assault weapons.
