On this application deadline for the Texas voucher program, it’s now crystal clear: Your tax dollars are funding a private school subsidy for kids already in private schools. They were never meant for poor kids. Be sure to thank @GregAbbott_TX this Nov in #2024Elections

76% of voucher applications from families already in private schools. Less than 1% of public school families have applied. @GregAbbott_TX told us vouchers save poor kids from failed schools. He lied. Vouchers subsidize rich kids in private schools. osod.org/early-voucher-appli…

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

You may have never voted for a Democrat before but if you are a teacher or coach in Texas, nobody stood taller for you than @jamestalarico in the last 2 state sessions. There were a few house republicans who also stood up but they were primaried out by the top state leaders 2 years ago. Many in the Republican party at the state level needlessly attacked you to gain support for ESAs. ESAs could have passed without those attacks, but the attacks made it easier. As a lifelong conservative voter this was hard to stomach. Thankfully some of those guys were defeated yesterday. But always during the attacks Talarico was there for educators. These last 4 years have given me a lot to think about in terms of how I will vote. I have not changed how I feel about things, but no single party gets my vote automatically anymore. I’ll enjoy watching this Texas Senate base and listening to the candidates.

TX lawmakers claimed vouchers would help low‑income families but designed & implemented a system prioritizing the wealthy. Not an accident but a predictable result of a policy bought by billionaires & the politicians who serve them. @TexasAFT @jamestalarico @GinaHinojosaTX

The "historic investment" for Texas public schools is like if you didn't pay your rent or make mortgage payments for 6 years, then wrote a huge check and said "This is the most I've ever given you by far!" #TxLege
new state dollars for texas public schools will only start to help catch them up : bit.ly/3ZSrEnl

Factoid as HB 2 heads for a Senate hearing: Adjusted for inflation, public school funding from the #txlege state budget has decreased by ~$700 per student since the 2010-2011 school year.

It would be very hard to overstate the negative impact that the cumulative badmouthing of teachers by state leadership has had on employee morale. Unlike anything in my 31 years. Especially the radio silence on HB2 following the passage of vouchers/ESAs. This is not a political statement, only a factual one.
