Over 70 Tarrant County clergy leaders signed this OpEd voicing their strong opposition to vouchers. @DadePhelan @GoldmanCraig @charliegeren

[Matthew Gutiérrez, Ed.D. @DrMattGutierrez]

Saddened to continue to see public school educators being attacked, especially as they enthusiastically await and prepare to begin a new school year.

I've been an educator since 2002, and I've never witnessed any woke agendas. What is taught are the TEKS ~ those are the basics of learning that come from TEA.

Tonight I'll be lifting all of my fellow public educators in prayer as we continue to be demonized. God bless #txed. #PublicEducation #teachers

If Texas legislators pass a voucher or Education Savings Account, you lose the parental rights you’d receive in public schools, as established by the Texas Constitution. #vOUCHersHurt #TxEd #TxLege

This is the reason we are fighting so hard for our public schools.
Texas public schools serve ALL of God’s children.
There are some incredible private schools in Texas but they will tell you they do not serve all kids.

Great information on the Voucher/School Choice scheme @GovAbbott is trying to pull in Texas. Teachers read below 👇. Help spread the word why this is nothing more than a way for Abbott to destroy public education in Texas. #FullyFundPublicSchools

[Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner]

The State takeover of HISD is not about one school or 30 schools. This is a concerted attempt to take over public education in the largest district and those who run it while intentionally side stepping some schools which they dare not touch. This is a long term occupation. st

Great things happening in Public Schools!!

[Alvin ISD Fine Arts @AISDFineArts]

At Nat���l Thespians, these students rec’d perfect scores, resulting in a Thespy Award. Ryan Moore (SCHS) for Stage MGMT. Jacob Meza & Devon Baxa (AHS) for Duet. Thespy = highest Nat’l recognition a HS theatre student can earn in competition. #premierecommunityfortheatereducation

[Mike Carroll @mjcatc]

I had an interesting conversation with a private school admin about vouchers. They said it wouldn't affect them because they're not going to accept those kids. In this school 80% of the students are legacies and the school isn't interested in taken voucher kids. @GovAbbott

[David DeMatthews @DrDeMatt]

The governor is incapable of leading the state bc he falsely attacks the same public schools he has been in charge of since 2015. Just like he remains incapable of ensuring schools are safe from assault rifles. @MomsAGAbbott @TexasAFT @AFTunion @pastors4txkids @DianeRavitch

@GregAbbott_TX So exactly why are you afraid of racial equality??

[Michelle Rinehart @DrMRinehart]

Real talk about #vOUCHers in #TxEd.

$500M is slated in the #TxLege budget for vouchers, pending legislative approval.

Q: How many Texas students will that $500M serve?

Take a guess before reading on...

@GregAbbott_TX Ummmmm no you are the one pushing political agendas

[Tiffany Wennerstrom @Tiff_DLee]

@GregAbbott_TX No, they don’t and you know it. So sad to see a Gov who treats Pub Ed as bad as you do.

[Tiffany Wennerstrom @Tiff_DLee]

@houstonisdwatch He obviously has no idea what it’s like to actually be in a school.

[Bradley W. Carpenter @Brad_Carpenter]

Think about this next time @GovAbbott offers any praise for Texas public school teachers...

Consider your most stressful day/week as a public school educator, then reflect on the following:

(1) Texas public school employees are tired, burned out, underappreciated, and many work in underresourced schools.

(2) Texas teachers busted their rears and sacrificed their own families by helping our students and communities endure a global pandemic.

THEN...

(3) Texas teachers were used as fodder as the Governor told voters they were "woke" and that they teach kids to "hate America."

AND...

(4) Texas ranks in the bottom 10 states in per-student funding.

(5) Texas' $32.7 billion surplus is the size of the budget of South Carolina.

FINALLY...

(6) Policymakers could not find it within themselves to provide teachers with any raise, nor could they find it within themselves to increase school funding...due to their insistence on tying funding to vouchers.

These people MUST be held accountable. The 2023/24 school year should not start until we: (a) increase teacher pay; and (b) increase school funding.

PERIOD.

Decoded = when my priority doesn’t align w/ the majority & I don’t get my way, I threaten people w/ vetoes & special sessions ahead of the process. Not leadership, not democracy. This further hardens Rs & Ds against vouchers. They’ll deliver you more losses until you listen.

[Dr. Kristin N. Brown @Kristin_N_Brown]

Did you know…
Vouchers are sending taxpayer funds to private entities w/o accountability & transparency.

$8,000 will NOT pay ALL tuition, transportation, supplies, uniforms & fees at a private school. A household with an avg income of $64k won’t be able to supplement the cost.
