⚖️TEACHER Rights in TEXAS:
"Public schools cannot restrict teachers’ speech when they speak as a citizen on a matter of public concern, even when teachers identify themselves as school employees."

Happy Veterans Day. 

Today and every day, we are grateful for those who have answered the call to defend our nation's freedom. 

House Democrats will always fight for those who have served our country.

This Veterans Day, we honor all who have bravely and selflessly served our nation in uniform.

[Chris Turner @ChrisGTurner]

This Veterans Day, I'm looking back at remarks I shared in 2011, honoring the brave men and women who have served our country.

To every veteran, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to our nation.

Happy Veterans Day.

Texas Public Schools & Your Tax Dollars
(under Greg Abbott and Mike Morath)

Although hand-selected by Abbott/Morath,
this person (Mike Miles) has still NOT
yet been removed from running the
largest school district in the state of Texas.

@NathanForTexas Just watched your appearance on tonight's @weeknightmsnow, on @MSNOWNews! 👍

[Lawrence Mower @lmower3]

NEW: Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa will fire Texas education Commissioner Mike Morath.

Whoever's next is in for one of the new administration's toughest jobs:

Public schools built Texas. The state has been chipping away at them for years. We’re making them priority one.

Thank you to the leadership of @GalenaParkISD, @ChannelviewISD, @SheldonISD & @GCCISD for meeting with @AnaHdzTx, Rep-elect Tom Butler and me before the #txlege.

[Kelly Wiley @KellyWileyNews]

NEW: We spoke with a Texas mom whose son with autism was withdrawn from a private school after she paid tuition with Texas Education Freedom Account funds. She was left rushing to find a new school so he would not have to opt out of the state program. https://t.co/NRjHJYKE17

Is this the Mike Miles you honored by having on your K-12 panel in Washington, D.C.??

Gov. Abbott-appointee MIKE MILES (appointed 3-years ago, after Abbott's TX-State Takeover of the state's largest school district which completely removed ALL Parent-Elected School Board Members)?? -- The same Mike Miles who is *not* certified to be a superintendent in the state of Texas (for all 3 years he has served) due to a 'Waiver' from The State (thanks to the blessing of Abbott-appointed TEA Commissioner Mike Morath)??

She's already vowed to fire the state's top education official. Here's what else Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa could do to reverse the conservative policies that have set her state apart from the rest of the country https://t.co/1FCRZUy4d2

[Big Bad Bear @CoxHerb]

Total BS.
80% of students accepting vouchers were already enrolled in a private school.
Those schools don’t admit kids with special needs, behavior or attendance issues,
Or any kid that isn’t a good “fit” for their school.
Nobody believes your lies, Nate.
You’re done. Sit down.

@KPRC2 Texas TEFA "Vouchers"
#Education #Schools @GinaHinojosaTX

Perhaps this is why more than 33,000 eligible applicants opted out 👀👀👇👇

Her son qualified for Texas Education Freedom Account funding and enrolled in private school. Weeks later, the school withdrew him.

Details in the comments.

Mike Miles was moonlighting: earning $190,000 over the past three years as a consultant for Third Future Schools (TFS), the Colorado-based charter school network he founded and previously led.

This likely violated state law.

@TxEdHouston Mike Miles does not know how to be a superintendent. He does not know how to interact with human beings. Mike Miles is a an example of skilled incompetence.
@GinaHinojosaTX audit the grift of the takeover of #MikeMiles
