This is a public school bus. #txed #txlege
Mr PitBull@MrPitbull07

He drives a school bus in Dallas, Texas. But the kids on his route call him something else — Dad. Every morning before the sun is fully up, Curtis Jenkins pulls his yellow school bus to the curb and waits. Not just to pick up kids. To see them. For seven years, Curtis noticed things other people missed. The little girl who folded her paper lunch bag perfectly every day but left it on the bus — because there was nothing inside. The boy whose shoes were too small. The kids who got on quiet, eyes down, carrying weight no child should have to carry alone. So Curtis did something simple. He made his bus a community. He gave every child a job — a greeter, an assistant, a "police officer" keeping order in the aisles. Every morning he'd call out, "We're going to care about each other and love everybody, right?" And 50 small voices would answer back. But it didn't stop there. Over the years, Curtis spent thousands of dollars of his own money — money he saved by skipping his own Christmas gifts with his wife — on birthday cards, bikes, backpacks, turkeys at Thanksgiving, and 70 hand-wrapped Christmas presents. He didn't buy random gifts. He asked each child what they wanted. Then he went and got exactly that. No donation page. No announcement. No cameras. When the story finally got out and people questioned how a bus driver could afford it, Curtis just smiled. "It doesn't take money. It takes discipline." But here's the part that will stay with you. When a reporter asked the kids what they loved most about Curtis — not one of them mentioned the gifts. A fifth grader named Ethan, whose parents had divorced when he was four, looked up and said quietly: "He's the father that I always wanted. In some ways, I wish my dad could have been like that." Curtis heard it. Didn't flinch. Just nodded. "That's the paycheck right there," he said later. "If I can get that, you can keep the money." He wasn't looking for a medal. He wasn't going viral on purpose. He was just a man who decided, every single morning, that his bus would be the safest place those kids walked into all day. Sometimes the person who changes a child's life forever isn't a teacher or a coach or a counselor. Sometimes it's the person behind the wheel of a yellow bus at 7 a.m. — who chose to show up, and chose to care, when nobody was asking him to. Tag someone who needs to read this today. 💛

Rep. Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos
Gov. Abbott, you have been in charge of Texas for 11 years, and under your watch, we have experienced a gun violence surge of over 60%. We have become the mass shooting capital of the United States. You defund public schools and refuse raises for teachers. Now you dare ask teachers to be our front-line soldiers against school shootings?

Waco absolutely packed the house. We’re going to win this year because people in every corner of the state are fed up and fired up.

I never planned to run for office, I was just a mad mom on a mission when my son’s school was threatened with closure. Since then, parents and educators have always had my back. I’m honored to receive the @TXParentPAC endorsement to keep putting our kids first as governor.

Parents in our Fort Worth churches have direct positive experience of @FortWorthISD success with our children. @GregAbbott_TX is a petty, anti-conservative dictator. He doesn’t believe in local control. He believes only in his own control. He hates #txed! #2026Elections!
Greg Abbott@GregAbbott_TX

THIS is a school district that Texas is taking over because the FWISD has failed students for 5 years in a row. Parents are fleeing FWISD & choosing school choice because they want their kids educated not indoctrinated. The State will course correct FWISD.

@county_grayson Thank you for standing against a huge expansion of government and a huge expansion of the taxpayer burden for unaccountable entities lacking oversight and transparency. Vouchers are a scam. #txed #txlege

Conservative opposition to school voucher in Texas is growing. “True school choice already exists without government intrusion,” conservatives write in a letter gaining endorsements ahead of Wednesday’s House floor debate on school vouchers. texasobserver.org/abbott-voucher…

@GregAbbott_TX Governor, use accurate language: New taxes for students already admitted as a private school customer. Vouchers are a scam, as evidenced by Jeff Yass' zillion dollar spend to profit off voucher "distribution." #txlege

Today, the Texas House is voting on school choice. It's a big day in Texas history. Texas lawmakers: parents and students are waiting for you to make the right choice. We MUST pass school choice and put Texas on a path to be #1 in education.

Now: Texas House members are receiving copies of this memo outlining past precedent for holding a statewide vote on a particular topic. It has happened before: In 1987 and 1989. Some Republicans and Democrats now want the issue of school vouchers decided by Texans #txlege

The Texas House of Representatives must remind @GregAbbott_TX that he is a governor. Not a king. They must vote the interests of their people in opposing vouchers. NOT the interest of a billionaire-bought politician. Let Texans decide in a ballot vote! @Burrows4TX #txlege

“The school voucher experiment is a failure and we don’t need to let 5.5 million Texas public school students be the next guinea pigs to prove it.” 👏👏👏 Special thanks to @TFN for their advocacy day & having us lend our voice to speak out against vouchers! #txlege

Gov @GregAbbott_TX says it's unconstitutional to put vouchers to a statewide vote. But in 2004 an official AG opinion written by Abbott on the Texas Racing Act - which includes a provision for a vote of the people on an issue - he raised no constitutional concerns #TxLege

as texas attorney general greg abbott raised no constitutional concerns about statewide votes on issues when he was asked directly about it : bit.ly/4immJ4B
