@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert I guess that means you have no evidence? You still want to lie with unfounded claims. None of that is remotely true. Texas dictates nothing regarding curriculum in private schools. Period.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert I am correct - please show some evidence of how TX dictates private school curriculum? Feel free to link the evidence here. I’ll be waiting

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert Full stop - private schools are PRIVATE no matter how much money they receive from taxpayers. TX can’t dictate the curriculum at private schools, there is nothing public about that at all. Be for real dude.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert Again, they should relocate or find ways to improve their monetary situation. Public schools are there for all who want to attend or can’t afford private. It is not the taxpayer’s responsibility to privately educate children.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert It’s exactly what’s happening. 70% of current vouchers are used by children that were already attending private schools. It’s a pernicious way to disguise yet another tax break for the wealthy.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert Why should low income families be granted school choice when there is a publicly-funded school already available for their child? If they want to send their kid to public school, they should make more money

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @ocrisia_ @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert So we have a situation where we take funds away from public schools to help mediate costs for private schools at the cost of lower-income families and rural communities. If you think this isn’t what’s happening, your head is so far up your ass there’s no hope

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert Fantastic example. Please read up about MS vouchers - they are unique and not comparable to TX, OK, or LA. They do not have “general universal vouchers” and instead promote school choice for disabled/special needs kids

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert It IS right to blame school choice. Voucher programs = less $ for public schools. Look at Texas’s neighbors using vouchers: Oklahoma ranks 47th nationally, while Louisiana fares slightly better at 41st. That is not an outcome I want for my state.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert Teachers are overwhelmingly UNDERpaid, which has contributed to our current crisis of quality educators fleeing the system en masse. “Far left” curriculums do not exist here - sir, this is Texas.

[EB @erinchels89]

@MCN742766360744 @grok This could be mitigated by taxing corporations appropriately again. Corporations are making record profits while middle- and lower-class Americans foot the bill

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert I’m 37 and have lived in Texas my entire life. Not once, ever, have I heard of publicly-funded schools having to remove a day of school because the budget doesn’t allow for it. I find that unacceptable, and most Texans agreed last Tuesday.

[EB @erinchels89]

@housleyd Legit everyone wants this. Have you been to Europe? Japan? It’s insane how much easier it is to travel via train than all the hassle that comes along with air travel.

[EB @erinchels89]

@Conrguy @GenZFinAdvisor @natsfert The problem is that in the process of promoting school vouchers, rural schools have had their budgets cut massively. Most rural schools in Texas are suffering financially and have had to go to 4 days/week, which has rightfully upset a lot of people

[EB @erinchels89]

@SteveRob Stick to “reporting” and let the experts (Senator Warren) handle these issues

[EB @erinchels89]

@LeonSandoTXMN Look to RFK and the vaccine debate by people that know nothing about science. That’s who is incubating measles in this country and starting outbreaks - it’s not the “undocumented.” Is that group just yalls default scapegoat? Be for real

[EB @erinchels89]

@vlucas Stop lying. Anyone charging more than 10% interest is robbing Americans and that’s a fact

[EB @erinchels89]

@TexasYRs Elon is not a political opponent. Fascism would be allowing a public citizen such as himself to freely take up Texas resources against the will of the people….oh wait, that’s what we just voted out

[EB @erinchels89]

@OneMeghanElinor I was born and raised in Texas and have NEVER once voted for a Republican. Go back to Maryland bitch you are no Texan
