Damn she cooked his ass😭

Thanks to all the Just Fund It TX parents across the state who advocated ALL YEAR for funding TX public schools. We stopped vouchers, but still no $$$ for students, teachers, schools. Happy Holidays! https://t.co/ogJDVkN2hi #txlege #txed #vote #justfundit

Texas House adjourns fourth special session — leaving vouchers, school safety and elections bills unfinished https://t.co/pjYlrv76ac via @TexasTribune #txed #txlege

A handy calculator for how much Greg Abbott has proposed to invest in your neighborhood school:

Take 5,156,972 students in public schools.
Multiply it by 0.

Greg Abbott's school funding plan gave $0 to our public schools despite a $33 billion budget surplus.

Greg Abbott's school funding plan gave $0 to our public schools.

Abbott failed to support our #txed students, teachers, and neighborhood schools.

I'm proud to stand with the pro-public education majority in the Texas House ready to fully fund our schools. #txlege

Speaker @DadePhelan tells a largely empty Texas House that they'll stand at ease til 1pm Friday as they wait on the Senate to do, well, anything I guess #txlege

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Not only are "school choice" supporters disappointed, but supporters of public schools are angry. Teachers aren't getting a raise and schools across Texas are considering layoffs at a time when the state sits on more money than it's ever had https://t.co/W5JJr80yPp #TxLege #TxEd

Thank you! Your voices were heard. The Texas House voted 84-63 (all D's and 21 R's) to remove the voucher (ESA) from HB1. Many thanks to public education advocates and the 84 rep's who heard you! #txed #txlege #justfundit #vote

Got em:
On a vote of 84 to 63, the Texas House strips vouchers from HB1. Here's the vote sheet #txlege

The Texas House has begun to debate vouchers—again. Watch at https://t.co/8t9mH6X09P #txed

[Pastors for Children @pastors4kids]

So much for parent-backed vouchers.

Texas PTA ain’t buying it.

Neither is the #txlege House.

No vouchers in Texas. Not now. Not ever.

"Only way families are guaranteed choice & accountability is through well-funded public schools, where every parent has choice to enroll their child, choice to be engaged in their future, the right to certain protections, and access to information ensuring accountability" #txlege

[Lt Governor-Elect Vikki Goodwin @VikkiGoodwinTX]

In New Hampshire, 89% of their voucher program goes to rich parents whose kids are already in private schools. That's why Greg Abbott's billionaire mega-donors are trying to pass their voucher scam. Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. #txlege

[JustFundItTX @JustFundItTX]

If you haven't sent a quick note to urge your legislators to fund our schools instead of investing in voucher scams, do it now! https://t.co/JUUuGw0zAP They vote tomorrow! #Txed #txlege #justfundit #NoVouchers

[JustFundItTX @JustFundItTX]

The TX House will be hearing HB1 (the "everything but the kitchen sink" education bill that has a big fat voucher in it) on Friday. Please let your reps know that you want public schools funded, NOT defunded by ESAs/Vouchers. https://t.co/JUUuGw0zAP #txed #txlege #NoVouchers

[Texas School Coalition @TXSC_org]

HB 1 as passed out of committee includes a UNIVERSAL ESA voucher that will soon cost $2 billion every year. This will make it even more difficult for Texas to fulfill its constitutional obligation to fund public schools. #txlege #txed

[JustFundItTX @JustFundItTX]

Call to action: One more time- Tell lawmakers to vote NO on vouchers and fund TX public schools now! Click here: https://t.co/JUUuGw0zAP #txed #txlege #justfundit #novouchers

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

Want to know where vouchers (if passed) will go in Texas? Look at Arizona. They went to universal vouchers for the 22/23 school year.
More than 50% of voucher funds went to kids not enrolled in public schools
53% of new education spending will go to 8% of students
