Folks, I taught in MS, LA, & Humble ISD. Was director of Ed foundation in Klein ISD. Our children went K-12 in Klein. Our TX governor @GregAbbott_TX is 💯 wrong about public schools and it will bite him in his rear end. Public schools are great!

Harold Dodds, in 1954, lamenting that High School graduates do not have a firm grasp of the “3 Rs” as they had back in 1930s. I think about this when folks say similar today. Were the 1930s the zenith of high school performance in USA or is there a lesson here?

Hey, all you Texas professional educators! Get out and #BlockVote in the primaries. Find out who supports vouchers and vote against them regardless of party. See ya at the polls!
The anti-voucher House R’s take their races seriously, as responsible public servants should. But they will win them handily. Their people know them. They are servant leaders in our churches, schools, communities. @GregAbbott_TX’s billionaires can’t buy these seats. #txlege

What if your policy proposal is so awful that you have to threaten and bully leaders of your own party to pass it? Welcome to @GregAbbott_TX’s voucher world. If there’s one thing Texans hate it’s a bully. Abbott won’t get his voucher. #txed #txlege texasmonthly.com/news-politi

We must be focused on what Texas public schools need. Teachers need a pay raise. Students are more than a test. And public schools serve all children. #TxEd #TxLege

Great visits in #txlege House today! Clearly, the voucher plan doesn’t have the votes. If you have to resort to threats to pass a program, you have already lost. The bipartisan caucus against vouchers and for #txed is growing! No vouchers in Texas. Not now. Not ever.

“The best argument against school vouchers that I’ve ever heard came from former Texas Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff” and it still applies, read it here #txlege #txed @pastors4txkids @TXParentPAC @tasbnews @BradBuckleyDVM

Eight years of Dan Patrick have proven that he is bad for Texas schools. He is bad for Texas women. He is bad for Texas taxpayers. Dan Patrick has failed Texas and on November 8th we will fire him.

Let the record show: @MikeMorath & @GregAbbott_TX are pro STAAR test. 400,000 #txed teachers are opposed to it. 5.5 million schoolchildren are abused by it. You know who is right. Get rid of standardized tests in #2022elections #txlege @RYHTexas
Replying to @PerkyPerkins12
Commissioner @MikeMorath thinks the STAAR test is “simplistic,” “effective,” and “accurate.” He believes in the A-F accountability system which is based 100% on the STAAR test scores in elementary schools. #TribFest22

True Texas Republicans will vote for former Republican Mike Collier for Lieutenant Governor over Dan Patrick. They celebrate and support #txed for all Texas children. Patrick does not. #txed #2022Elections

Churches all over Texas are praying for #txed teachers, collecting school supplies for TX teachers, supporting TX teachers. And pledging before God to vote for TX public school teachers—and against private school vouchers—in #2022elections! #txlege @BetoORourke @GregAbbott_TX

Amen!
Any reference to “government” schools is a @BetsyDeVos @KochIndustries lie. They are PUBLIC schools. Public roads. Public parks. Public water. Public police. NOT Gov’t roads. Gov’t parks. Gov’t water. Gov’t police. Your neighborhood. Your street. Your school. Your kids.

Being a good Christian is about living your life based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christian Nationalism is about advocating for America to be a Theocracy - a government based on a single religion - like IRAN.

Teachers are waking up to the attack on their profession—and our #txed children— —orchestrated by @danpatrick—endorsed by @GregAbbott_TX—funded by @BetsyDeVos, Ferris Wilks, Tim Dunn. You can do something about it. #blockvote in #2022elections @Texans4E @TexasAFT #txlege
