TEXAS HOUSE: Speaker Burrows has been presiding over the House without a quorum, in violation of state law. Yesterday, he was caught red-handed by Rep. Brian Harrison—falsely counting 40 absent members as present in a brazen attempt to fabricate a quorum.
Anti-voucher #txlege House,
Tell @Burrows4TX you oppose vouchers
He won’t bring it to the floor
Support & you WILL draw primary & general opponents!
@GregAbbott_TX doesn’t care about you. Ask @RogersForTexas & @stevefortx
Vote your teachers/your kids/your ppl.
Your soul.
@Burrows4TX Vouchers DO NOT belong in Texas!
As the baby of 6 raised in ATX in the 70’s my dad CHOSE to pay Catholic School tuition for us in ADDITION to, as a responsible citizen, PAY public school taxes. This was his CHOICE.
@GregAbbott_TX As a former Kindergarten teacher & 5th generation Texan you have no idea what “school choice” will do to Texas school children, sadly you do NOT seem to care. 1955-1976 my parents put me and my 5 siblings in an ATX Catholic School with no qualms about paying AISD taxes.
A lot of people seem to not realize that some students are more expensive to educate because they have higher levels of need that require additional staffing.
Private schools simply do not accept those students in the first place.
@AllisonETEC Indeed! By being a good classroom teacher we are unfortunately enabling poor parenting and zero accountability to continue. This was happening when I was in a Kinder classroom 18 yrs. ago. I cannot imagine what today’s educators are having to deal with. Thank you Teachers!!
