#CWS ball don’t lie. Three-run double for Coastal Carolina after the umpire took away a run from Coastal after an intentional HBP call.

Is this a way to push more kids to private schools?Let’s make a law that removes the parent’s choice in public schools, whether their child takes a cell phone to school or not.If they go to private schools, they don't have to follow this law and could have their phone in school
Freshman @FairlyForTexas’ HB 1481, a no cell phones in schools bill, has 79 joint- and co-authors — 57 Rs and 22 Ds. #txlege

All these posts by Greg about discussing school choice with all these representatives. All Texans would rather see discussions with representatives on how to fix the property tax problem ALL Texans are facing.

Not much shocks me nowadays, but I was taken aback when TX Gov. Abbott declared teacher pay an “emergency item,” so lawmakers can fast-track raises. He’s the one who explicitly held teacher raises hostage to vouchers through 4 special sessions last yr. texastribune.org/2025/02/18/…

I want to believe that voucher proponents support public schools but you all held 5.5 million students and their teachers hostage last session because you didn’t get your vouchers.
Kinda hard to trust the folks who take hostages.

Texas And The Conservative Pushback On School Vouchers forbes.com/sites/petergreene…
What a nitwit! Bragging about what he has done in HISD. EXCEPT it’s not an HISD school, it’s a Lamar CISD school.
Very disrespectful of the documented hard work & innovation by those teachers.
The school score went from D to A-
Salary increased across the board by the Supt. who took over the failed HISD.
Teacher salaries were increased by cutting administrative costs.
72% of those students are categorized as socio-economically disadvantaged students. Don’t diminish their achievements.
This shows how student success often stems from great teachers – a point I made in my remarks. And, the reason why I am seeking pay raises for teachers.
The truth does not help your position, but the truth will be well known in the coming weeks.

When you are trying to pass Vouchers and your wife sits on the board of a new private Christian school! Conflict of interest? And the Coach is a felon and was sent to prison! Billionaire Republican Family values! blazeschool.org/electives

Texas SB 2 creates 42 new government employees. It creates $1 Billion more in expenditures in fiscal year 2027, up to over $4 Billion in 2030. How would you like the estimated $11 Billion over four years to be expended?

No applause for the school voucher lobbyist industry. If vouchers were so great, they wouldn't need millions of dollars to lobby for them
👏👏👏
Huge standing ovation as @GovAbbott declares that Texas must pass universal school choice and makes it an emergency item #TXSOTS25 #txlege #txed

Amazing how quickly we went from *dissolve the Department of Education* to use federal power to pursue a petty, vengeful and unpopular agenda. Even at the height of the anti-CRT panic cutting funds to schools was deeply unpopular w/ the public /1
The last 20 seconds is what concerns me. There is ZERO foresight by our current state representatives. If you give the state the power now because we like our conservative values, what happens if the state has the power and the people with conservative values aren't in office
Are the school choice advocates claims of no strong attached a likely outcome?
Here is what Jim Mason had to say about it in my latest school choice podcast.

Just a reminder our governor doesn't care about children. What a disgrace to our kids and teachers. Remeber this in March 2026 when we can primary him out!
October is Bullying Prevention Month, but during it Gov. Abbott is holding up $4B in new education funds until he gets his school voucher bill. This impacts both per student allotment funding (currently 43rd in US) and teacher pay raises ($7,700 behind US pay avg) . #TxLege
🧵🧵Just a thought…. 🤔🤔🤔If education was better 30 years ago(according to our state officials), why don't we use the same curriculum we used then? I'm not talking about textbooks and technology; I'm talking about the content we teach kids at certain ages.
