BEAUTIFUL.

Wonderful meetings in Austin this week with dedicated policy advocates pushing for #txlege to do our moral and constitutional duty to provide excellent universal public education to all children!

#txed is on the ballot!

Vote for our kids—vote pro-public ed!

The private school voucher program hurt Ohio, hurts taxpayers and hurts our schools.

The $1 billion universal private school voucher program diverts $1 billion away from public school districts annually, thus, in the range of $200,000,000 will be lost to the State Teachers Retirement : conta.cc/4cRFefA

A source confirms to the Lookout's Sam Stockard that Gov. Bill Lee's statewide school voucher plan is unlikely to pass the House Finance Ways and Means subcommittee Tuesday, all but dooming it this legislative session.

Texans and Tennesseans are waking up to the corruption of private school vouchers that hurt poor children and violate everyone’s religious freedom!

Lone Star & Volunteer States know better!

They won’t be ruled by greedy out of state billionaires!

No vouchers! Pastors for Tennessee Children

'While the public system has languished financially due to state neglect, the state has provided about $30 billion to unaccountable private schools via direct payments and vouchers since the 1997 Ohio Supreme Court decision.'

Private schools may select their students; no special-needs students should bother to apply. - Jeanne Pritchard, Medina cleveland.com/letters/2024/0…

Wonderful gathering after church today in a member’s home on the dangers of private school vouchers. She invited her friends and neighbors. We had a full house and a fine discussion.

Texans are waking up to the corruption of this failed policy!

Vote #txed on May 28!

CHILLING.

Ohio is fast becoming the Wild West for vouchers. The program has grown from $42 million in 2008 to $1 billion this year.

Again: if Trump wins the White House and Republicans win Congress this November, they will pass a NATIONWIDE ban on abortions — and on IVF.

All 50 states. Even the blue ones.

Vote accordingly.

If the US is going to bring back old laws & policies, can we bring back taxing the rich?

The Arizona Supreme Court ruling allows an 1864 abortion ban to go into effect. There are no exceptions for rape and incest, and it threatens doctors and nurses with prison time.

It does not have to be this way. Congress must restore the protections of Roe.

Serious question: Why are white people so afraid of becoming a minority? Does America treat minorities badly or something?

Regardless of billionaire Betsy DeVos’ lies that vouchers help poor kids, truth is her “school choice” vouchers subsidize affluent kids already in private schools.

She spends untold tens of millions to buy this lie.

But God knows.

And you do too.

The typical voucher system is:

An over-cost bailout of sub-prime private schools struggling to stay open while cannibalizing general funding for public schools and opening the door to grift and fraud

But the Arkansas version is its own kind of awful.
