You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I cannot with this man. In spite of your leadership. In spite of inadequate funding. In spite of the vitriol you have used to defame the hardworking public educators in Texas. In spite of! At this point, I feel his PR team is…
Texas is a national leader in education. Our state’s high school graduation rate is among the highest in the nation. We will continue to invest in our schools—and our students—to build a brighter future.
Stories about Texas school districts seeking out and welcoming diverse and inclusive books into school libraries are a breath of fresh air! Alief ISD receives three bookshelves of bilingual, multicultural books for low-income elementary schools houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/educa…
Every policy decision, budget, and tax break is a moral choice about what we value as a society. #ElectionsMatter Otherwise, we're left with people like this making decisions for the rest of us.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) says that if officials lock up 15% of the population, there will be no crime: "Only about 15% of all Americans commit 100% of the crime ... If you lock up the 15%, we don't have any crime."
Why You Should Care About the May 4 Appraisal District Election It’s part of a strategic plan to undermine confidence in local government by injecting political values into technical positions with the long-term goal of defunding public services. buff.ly/3Ult3jS #txlege
"By trying to participate under (Mike) Miles' rules, I felt like I was doing more harm to the students.” New Houston ISD system will affect teachers' pay based on evaluations, prompting concerns from educators across the district - ABC13 Houston abc13.com/houston-isd-ne…
Which is it? Our public schools are great or our public schools are irreparably broken? The story changes hour by hour.

The teacher was targeted for creating a safe space for LGBTQ students and supporting the @TrevorProject, which works to prevent suicide among LGBTQ adolescents.
A Northwest ISD teacher was the target of fake bomb threats in early March, days after she was the subject of a social media post by Libs of TikTok. Both the school and the teacher's home were targets of bomb threats. keranews.org/education/2024…
It's coming now y'all...@CyFairISD is being forced to make serious budget cuts that will negatively impact the operation/effectiveness of schools from top to bottom. Tough choices ahead for board of trustees. Plain truths must be said before the process begins... @CypressFPSTX

As a member of the TX House Public Education Committee, I can confirm. @GovAbbott blocked $ for TX schools as payback for his failed voucher scam. The GOP #txlege would not defy @GregAbbott_TX Now TX kids are $40B below natl average in funding while our $ sits in state coffers

Solidarity with the thousands of VW workers in Chattanooga who start voting today to join @UAW! What a moment for all workers in the South who are fighting for better lives by joining a union. We stand with you! #StandUpUAW
Workers are no fools. Southern governors who oppose them lead 6 of the nation’s 14 poorest states. For decades they & others like them have talked about a “right to work” while workers have gotten poorer & corporation’s profits have soared. clarionledger.com/story/opinion/…

This is why I filed HB 1071 last session which required the Secretary of State to coordinate with the TEA and provide voter registration forms in high schools. It is important to make sure that students have easy access to the tools they need to participate in our democracy.
Most 18-year-old Texans aren’t signed up to vote despite a law requiring voter registration in high schools bit.ly/3xyC7sT
