I hope you get a chance to read the article by Mimi Swartz of the Texas Monthly. The article is well researched and beautifully written. It encapsulates the fight over private school vouchers. Pastors for Children RaiseYourHandTexas Pat Hicks mimi swartz texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Gov Greg Abbott makes private school vouchers an emergency item. Diverting your tax dollars to subsidize private schools for affluent folks is an emergency for him. Your child's #txed is low priority for him. He cares about his national ambitions. Not about you. #txlege

So, you'll enjoy this: we put what Fox hosts Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham said, on air, side by side with what they were saying to each other on text, in private, when the cameras stopped rolling. It's a must-watch and it's pretty shocking:

There is a campaign being waged against our public schools. Our public schools do not belong to the “government,” they belong to our communities, to our students, parents, and teachers. Don’t believe the spin being spun by supporters of ESAs and vouchers. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

The Budget is a moral document. It tells our values. Texas ranks 3rd to bottom in per student $. TX teachers paid $8000 below nat’l average. Our historic surplus comes from skimping on schools. Everyone wants a tax break, but not on the backs of kids & teachers. #txlege

Read all about our experience at this year's SXSW EDU conference in Austin! studentreportinglabs.org/news/hank-gree…

A decade ago, less than a quarter of all gun thefts were from cars. In 2020, over half of them were. We looked at FBI data across 271 American cities, large and small, and found there were around 40,000 guns stolen from cars in 2020. etwn.us/3G6OKNl

We bear responsibility not only for our own children. But for our neighbor’s children too. It’s our public and patriotic duty. Our communal responsibility. Our mutual interest. God’s Common Good! #txlege #txed

No more thoughts and prayers. It’s time to do something. It’s time to legislate properly. It’s time to protect children. Hon. Jarvis Johnson said it, on the floor of #txlege on Friday. It’s heartbreaking his words carry such weight days later. GOP isn’t on board? Vote them out.

It’s a great day in Texas! Did you hear about this? #hb108 #texleg #teacherlife #texasteacher #texas #AustinTx Leslie Jones 🦋 Jenny Lawson Mark Hamill

Think about this next time Greg Abbott 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 case you missed it: Despite the state's $33 billion budget surplus, the legislative session ended with no increase in per-student funding. bit.ly/3IMh74L #txed
