As I lead the charge for a bold overhaul of education in Oklahoma, putting parents back in control, rejecting radical agendas, and demanding excellence: it’s no surprise to face politically motivated attacks. Any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false. I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing. These falsehoods are the desperate tactics of a broken establishment afraid of real change. They aren’t just attacking me, they’re attacking the values of the Oklahomans who elected me to challenge the status quo. I will not be distracted. My focus remains on making Oklahoma the best state in the nation, in every category.

This morning I’m listening to a principal at a large (district) high school in Texas. He says 75% of the work of his office is dealing with behavioral issues with 20-30 students. Alternative schools are so important! #TXed #txlege

NEW: Our bill banning dangerous chemicals from school lunches has PASSED the Senate & House and is on its way to the Governor’s desk. This makes Texas the largest red state to ban carcinogens from children’s lunches. It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Senator @LoisKolkhorst , Representative @CarolineForTX , @calleymeans , @drmarkhyman , @yoalexrapz , Brigham Buhler @ferrisbuhler81 , Jason Karp @humankarp , and Grace Price @travelingenes . #txlege

The Senate Committee on Education K-16 will hold a public hearing on Thursday to consider CSHB2. This is a historic opportunity to lift up Texas education with an unprecedented $8 billion in new funding. Here are a few key components of the bill: #txlege

Districts routinely claim they’re “at capacity” to dodge open enrollment—despite evidence to the contrary. New research suggests a better way to measure space (and expose gatekeeping).

Yesterday, I laid out SB 1798 which prohibits free tuition or subsidized in-state tuition at public institutions of higher education for those here illegally. These scarce taxpayer funds should be reserved for citizens.

Thank you @FBIHouston. For too long the Houston Independent School District was hindered by criminal behavior. Now with your help and new leadership installed by the state, HISD is performing better than it has in years. The focus is returned to better student outcomes.

#BREAKING Brian Busby and Anthony Hutchison bribed HISD employees, conspired to enrich themselves with taxpayer money, committed wire fraud, filed false tax returns, and even tampered with witnesses. They were just convicted on 33 federal charges and now face decades in prison.

I’m deeply disappointed to learn that the Houston Food Bank is being forced to scale back services due to an $11 million federal funding cut. These cuts will hit the most vulnerable in our community the hardest. houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/…

Looks like some folks put the ESA in TEXAS yesterday. Bravo. Maybe I’ll make some of these mugs after all as the people who protested the most will be the first to sign up. #schoolchoice
