The creative ways people have responded to CRT bans, such as Black History Saturdays at school (which fed law blocks states from singling out), reminds me of the lengths to which black people went during slavery to keep literacy alive in their communities. npr.org/2023/11/22/121…

When you consider what the Texas Constitution has to say about a system of public free schools... Public schools Taxpayer funded, publicly run Charter schools Taxpayer funded, privately run Private schools Privately funded, privately run #txlege #txed #publicschools

Lest there be any doubt, the political Texas SBOE continues to wage war on #science. “Teaching #climatechange to kids is the same as teaching them about gravity or addition and subtraction. These are settled scientific facts.” #DavidYeomans of KXAN Weather conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/texas-edu…

Thanks to Jose Arredondo for covering this important issue and for centering the voices of community gente who have advocated for public schools.

"#SchoolChoice policy could become a talking point for primary elections." To be clear, our #TexasPublicSchools offer choice, & we are hard-pressed to verify the Governor's laughable claim that 80% of the voters in some #TxLege districts want #vouchers. fox4beaumont.com/news/nation-wo…

"Community schools are extremely important. They can really become part of someone’s identity....Ultimately, schools are the heart of our communities." Trustees & admin in #SanAntonio wrestle with fact that closures, even when necessary, are very unpopular mysanantonio.com/news/local/art…

"Nearly all of the Fort Worth Independent School District school’s students come from low-income homes, & their basic needs aren’t always being met." Thus, the importance of organizations like CIS Tarrant County. fortworthreport.org/2023/11/26/her…

Those seeking to get rich from #TxEd use the pseudonym "#SchoolChoice" for the #VoucherScams & #CharterSchoolPerks they try to ramrod through the #TxLege. Let's remind our communities that our #TexasPublicSchools offer school choice with #SchoolsOfChoice & #ProgramsOfChoice!

Still think #vouchers without #accountability are a good idea? Nearly 9,000 #privateschools in #Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. #QuéTriste winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/…

A special GRACIAS to all who continue to champion our #TexasPublicSchools! cbsnews.com/texas/news/aft…
