No way Governor! The more you say it, the less faith rural Texans have in your ability to lead! Think about that for your political future. Fully fund public schools, give teachers raises, and THAT will give you clout!

As we all know from Accountability Standards, the bottom quartile of any group is BAD! I would like to expect a Cadillac ride from my Ford truck…but, you get what you pay for! Sad!

If you only visit private schools on your “school choice” tour…it might make sense that your poll might not be representative of all Texans! Just sayin!

Another lie! Teachers are leaving because legislators like you Lt. Dan do not respect, appreciate , or compensate teachers for what they do everyday! Increased accountability requirements, forced curriculum, and removing their autonomy to measure skills and teach are gone.

Imagine that…rural Republican Representatives that listen to their parents, superintendents, and some like @KingForTexas that have school board experience having “courage” to stand up to voucher steamrollers like Lt.Dan! Good for us in rural Texas!

Now this is the “team work that makes the dream work”! I completely understand why we have over a $30 billion surplus, no teacher pay raises, little for school safety, and the battle cry “everyone wants vouchers”. Not hard to figure why!

Thanks for all your hard work my friend! You created a really solid bill for public education and teachers. I appreciate your efforts and your fight against ESAs. Guess the Senate was ready to take their ball and go home. Such a shame.

@CaprockDemocrat We have at least two really good ones in @KingForTexas and @FourPriceTX !!
Why in the world would legislators hold teacher pay hostage for a voucher passage? Take no prisoners voucher supporters! Absolutely ridiculous!

When Texas supports its teachers, Texas supports its future. Teachers show up for Texas during its toughest hours; it’s time for Texas to show up for our teachers. #teachervoice #txed #txlege PAY TEACHERS, NOT PRIVATE SCHOOLS! p2a.co/BEoSP2B

@GregAbbott_TX Such a lie! We already have school choice. What we need is for you to stop pushing vouchers and properly fund our public schools. And, put an actual educator in charge. We have thousands of exceptional educators in Texas that could fix the problem PDQ.
Every time @GregAbbott_TX says “school choice,” Texans hear this: “Handout for rich kids.” That’s why #txlege House opposes them. He can point to push polls til the cows come home. But Texans know vouchers are unjust, unpopular & downright un-Texan! No vouchers in TX! Ever!
Thank @KingForTexas for holding the line for public schools! It’s not choice so much as it is about accountability. Public schools get $6,210/student w/strings attached. Private schools get $8,000/student carte blanche. Public schools take all kids. Private schools get to pick.
Just cause you say it every 10 minutes…don’t make it so! Maybe the private school voters you have been visiting feel that way without all the info. How bout paying teachers more and raising per student funding from the bottom five in the US this session????

Senate ed just voted this amendment to Rep. King’s HB100. Unbelievable. How an an ESA amendment fit within the four corners of a bill that outlines more $$ for public ed?

“It ain’t over till it’s over”! Vouchers seem to have more than nine lives. Glad the House is staying in the fight. Where are the teacher pay raises, reasonable additions to the basic allotment, and school safety $? The Senate wants to mandate 5days of instruction? Really?

Every school bond issue on the ballot yesterday passed overwhelming here in the Texas Panhandle. If @GovAbbott wants to fund vouchers instead of public ed, my people will take care of their kids and teachers! Congrats to Pampa, Perryton, Highland Park, PSP, and Dalhart!
Governor Abbott has stated, “ The majority of parents in EVERY community want school choice”, after he releases his survey. Guess it just depends on which survey you believe!

@tedcruz You know nothing, and I mean NOTHING about this voucher scam. These Republicans stood up to a governor on behalf of the constituents in their district and for the future of public education. “School choice” is a fancy focus group term for wealthy welfare.

I think in the next election for Governor of Texas we all need to write in a teacher. Let’s find that one that can represent us all. Since we know teachers don’t have money to actually run….this would be true grassroots!
Stop calling public schools government schools. Public schools are made up of folks from your community…the Sunday school teacher, the Pastor’s wife, neighbor, volunteer. Teachers are folks from your community who you know there to do one thing-teach your child not indoctrinate
Important to read and repost. Don’t let this politically motivated misperception about teachers, students, and public schools go unchallenged!
The @teainfo “has proposed abrupt changes to the A-F accountability system it uses to rate school districts – changes that will create the perception that schools are struggling when in fact they're improving.” #txlege #txed austinchronicle.com/news/2023-08-0…

I passed HB 1181 to hold pornography sites accountable. HB 1181 creates criminal penalties for a pornography site that does not correctly verify the ages of their viewers and/or allows children to view their content. We must protect Texas children.
