The great lie of “school choice” is that there is no master plan. No secret solution. Just defund, demean, and destabilize public education until vouchers are more palatable. Then drain vouchers until - poof - it’s the 18th century market driven education once again. #OklaEd

[Troy @Texans4E]

Stop falling for false shiny objects like CRT. They just don’t want to talk about their continued failure to fund Texas schools and their attempt to privatize. Those are the real issues. @TX_Legislature @pastors4txkids @JustFundItTX @RYHTexas @FRIENDStxps @TAMSATX

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

It’s unfair, but the medical profession in #COVID19 is now getting a taste of the disrespect that #txed educators have had to endure for decades.

We must recovery the community’s high esteem for our servant heroes: doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, teachers. #txlege

[Texas Association of School Boards @tasb_news]

TASB President Jim Rice sent a letter to Gov. Abbott asking him to provide flexibility to schools:
• School boards should be able to require masks in schools in response to local health conditions
• Districts should be able to provide a virtual school option, with funding (1/2)

[Alex Caprariello @alcaprari23]

NEW: I asked @GovAbbott if he'll give Texas school districts the ability to enforce mask-wearing now that the CDC has recommended everyone in the K-12 setting wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status.

Here's how the Governor's press secretary responded:

[The Hood Interpreter @hoodInterpreter]

@alcaprari23 @GovAbbott Thank u for asking the question. Abbott’s response is laughable 😂 claiming he believes in personal responsibility, but continues to arrest nonviolent Texans who smoke Cannabis (a plant 🪴) in the privacy of their own home. All while allowing anybody 2 carry a loaded weapon. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Let our communities decide how to keep our students safe! Help #TeamTSTA tell Gov. Abbott to rescind his prohibition on local control of mask requirements. https://t.co/MRT8KcqPfc!

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

How is Texas a conservative, limited government state when we have our governor issuing #txlege session after session, & mask mandate bans that co-opt local control?

1. Poor #STAAR tests by poor children during a pandemic is NO surprise.

2. @MikeMorath gave #STAAR against counsel of #txed educators

3. @teainfo warned against valuing it & #txlege almost waived it.

4. #STAAR itself is failed.

I know we’ll likely get a lot of no’s and Democrats are more likely supporters, but we should 100% start asking every single Republican candidate about Universal Basic Income & Healthcare.

The worst that they can say is no and you’re just back to opposing them again as planned.

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

Rocketship charter schools are bad for poor children.

A fundamentally broken system rewards Jeff Bezos, the world's richest guy, with another $78 billion — more money than any one person could ever need — while Amazon workers work at breakneck pace in grueling conditions with no hazard pay and no paid sick leave.

I just sent a letter to my lawmakers asking them to support the 5.4 million school children in Texas public schools. Join me in speaking up - send your own letter today. https://t.co/H1eT5wzKHI
