The GOP has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic & ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again. Join me in the fight for our nation’s freedom. greattask.com/

This is exactly what we have been fighting against all along. Still fighting.

TEA has appointed conservators for IDEA Public Schools, the largest network of charter schools in Texas. After a federal audit IDEA was required to return $29M in federal grants. IDEA had leased a jet for $15M, paid its former CEO a $900K severance and bought private boxes for Spurs games among many improprieties.

Here’s the list of pro-public school SEATED Republicans in the House that Abbott is actively campaigning against to get his voucher scam passed. Whether you are an R or a D vote to support these Texas Heroes in the primary today. Bring your friends & family! And prop 11 is a NO!

Excellent article from @quorumreport publisher @HKronberg. Exposes the truth and tells it like it is. Read it, and pass it on!

Happy #PublicSchoolsWeek! Reminder that most public school parents are satisfied with their child’s school. The Right-wing voucher push is about diverting taxpayer dollars to existing private school families.

The Texas owner of @CentralMarket & @HEB is Pro-Public K-12 Education and is fighting the battle AGAINST VOUCHERS ! 👏🏻
Replying to @jaspscherer
The Charles Butt Public Education PAC kicked in $1.3 million to House GOP candidates from Jan. 26-Feb. 24, mostly to anti-voucher incumbents being targeted by Abbott. Six-figure recipients were Allison, Bailes, VanDeaver & Kuempel. #txlege

Because #EducatorsVote, here’s a little fact that should fuel your fire at the polls! #blockvote #no2vouchers 👇🏼
One of the best-funded pro-voucher groups targeting Texas House Republicans is now blatantly trying to mask the fact that they’re not from Texas: bit.ly/3OWQ4Xg #txlege

Thank you, Corey, for sharing information on how to research and vote for pro-public education/anti-voucher candidates. This is excellent information for the masses! #No2Vouchers #StandUp4PublicSchools #Vote #Blockvote
NEW: Texas school district director and principal emails all staff telling them to vote in the Republican primary. The email links to a website saying who to vote FOR/AGAINST. Telling employees how to vote with district resources is illegal. Whistleblower documents 👇🧵

Rep Jared Paterson lays out the web of lies aimed at rural R Reps who Abbott wants to retire because they didn’t vote for vouchers. A lot of the lies and misinformation are coming from Dunn/Wilks groups with conservative sounding names. BEWARE. 1drv.ms/w/s!AhAM_6sGrsq1hhGv…

President Grant, in 1875 at the 9th reunion of the Army of the Tennessee, had this to say about free common schools, and also about funding for sectarian/private schools. I found this researching Grant's comments about future civil war in this same speech presidency.ucsb.edu/document…

This!👇🏼 @jamestalarico Thank you for serving as a panelist for our annual TAMS/TARS Legislative Conference. You hit the nail squarely on the head! Thank you for standing up for public schools….Every. Single. Time. @TAMS09626603 @tars_tarsed
“Betsy DeVos said she’s pushing voucher scams to advance God’s kingdom. But there’s nothing Christian about taking money from poor kids & giving it to rich kids on the other side of town. These Christian Nationalist billionaires should close their wallets & open their bibles.”

Branding public schools (public good) into private goods (vouchers) hurts everyone. #txed #txlege #vOUCHersHurt

The devil is in the details. Read the SB referenced. It sounds like a lot of money until you do the math. It doesn’t come close to covering the cost of security personnel at every campus. The HB is a better solution and was approved in plenty of time. If the response is that the district should cover some of the cost, I don’t disagree but that would assume districts aren’t wildly under funded with the state sitting on a literal pile of cash. Our elected officials are either for increasing safety and security for our educators and students or they are not. There is no in between.
In case anyone ever wonders why nothing gets done in Austin, here is a side by side of two elected “leaders” in the middle of a social media spat. Why our students and educators continue to be used as pawns by our elected reps is beyond me.

This side by side from @DanPatrick and @DadePhelan presents two different views on why the hold up for school safety funding and money for teacher salaries. Thanks to @_R_Dub_ for putting this together
