The Voucher Bill sponsor said the quiet part out loud. Any Representative voting for this Voucher Bill does NOT support Public Schools and can NOT claim themselves a Fiscal Conservative. The two are mutually exclusive. Voters should remember and treat them accordingly.
"Money follows my child" is libertarian selfishness. Definition? "There is a ME but there is no YOU." What one theologian called "the myth of autonomous individualism." We don't live in isolation. We live in community. I have responsibility for my child--AND your child! #txed

So excited that my friend @Missytesterman was recognized yesterday as the National Teacher of the Year! If you don’t follow her, please do, she gets it and will always take a stand for what is right in education! #whatsbestforstudentlearning #voucherscams #teachersKNOW
SURPRISE: @FLOTUS, Dr. Jill Biden, celebrates @Missytesterman, National Teacher of the Year, in our studio — and she announces that the White House will host a state dinner for teachers for the very first time.
Congratulations to teacher of the year, @Missytesterman, a long-time elementary school teacher in Rogersville, Tennessee. She says she loves getting “to unlock the love of learning in students” — and gets some very special surprises from her former students.
