@tedcruz Texas will now fall even harder due to the poor and greedy leadership. It is a shame. Vouchers are going to run our education system into the ground. MARK IT DOWN.
You act so tough on Twitter. Let's debate school vouchers in person.
You can pick the time, venue, format, and moderator. I'll be there.
What’s your answer, @GregAbbott_TX?
Hardest worker in the room, coachable, and humble. He has everything you want in a football player. Any college who lands HD will be getting a steal!

Six years ago, Greg Abbott came to this school and promised to invest in public education.
Now this school is at risk of closing.
Abbott is no longer working for the nearly 6 million school children of Texas — he’s working for the billionaires who write $6 million checks.
Greg Abbott is trying to defund our neighborhood public schools.
His billionaire-backed voucher scam would siphon our hard-earned tax dollars out of our public school classrooms.
Our public schools can’t stay open with vouchers draining their budgets. #txlege
The Texas voucher scam screws over taxpayers, rural Texans, and 4.9 million students in public schools, just so Greg Abbott’s rich buddies can get a discount on their private school tuition.
No public dollars for private schools. #TexasTake#txlege#txed
“Vouchers pose a threat to high school football & could turn out Friday Night Lights. An education savings account program will reduce funding levels for public schools as students leave. The first thing to be hit will be athletic budgets.” https://t.co/MylV4Ey2ed

This.
THIS!
Thank you, Lauren.
Shame on ALL those bearing false witness against our God-called #txed teachers.
Gov @GregAbbott_TX, are you listening???
#txlege
Reminder that the TEA has been under GOP control for what 25 years? The agenda schools push is the agenda set forth by the state government...fund our public schools and equip our public schools teachers w/the tools necessary to equip ALL children to be productive citizens
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
All @GregAbbott_TX has to do to poll Texans accurately is quit using the lie “school choice.”
Ask this instead:
“Do you favor your tax dollars diverted from #txed public schools to subsidize private schools?”
#txlege House knows the answer.
NO!
That’s why TX vouchers lose!
Gov @GregAbbott_TX has less support for vouchers now than in regular session.
That’s why he’s pushing them so hard— and why he hasn’t called a special session.
The more he sells, the less Texans buy.
He. Doesn’t. Have. The. Votes.
Keep working, y’all!!!

I agree with @GovAbbott. There’s more work to do:
1. TX is 49th in teacher retirement benefits.
2. TX is 42nd in public education funding.
3. TX is 43rd in teacher pay
4. TX is 2nd in school shootings.
Incredible meeting with Tyler clergy this morning!
The energy and solidarity for #txed is palpable!
Faith leaders all over Texas are standing up and speaking out for public education as a key component of God’s Common Good!
No vouchers in Texas! Ever!
@GregAbbott_TX#txlege
Texans are getting a front row seat on what happens when local elected officials ignore the people they are bound to serve and kowtow instead to national billionaire political funders.
This is what Texas vouchers are all about:
Them.
Not you.
#txed#txlege
Folks need to be single issue voters at the state level. The dereliction shown by @GregAbbott_TX@DadePhelan and @DanPatrick should have consequences in the next election.
