@ExtraCrispy45 Anyone who is paying attention knows that these guys only care about keeping their power. They don’t care about the troops or the kids.

@cjtackett sighting at @JasonIsbell tonight. Turns out Texas #PubEd advocates have great taste in music. Hat tip from me and @ExtraCrispy45. Appreciate all you do for Texas schools. Hope you aren’t the “Last of My Kind” 🎶❤️📚

@chuckazooloo @TX_RINO_Hunter @cjtackett @pastors4txkids Overheard in the teacher break room: “Indoctrination? That’s rich, we are still over here just working on subtraction!”

During the Senate committee hearing on vouchers, Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton, who has his own voucher bill (SB176), bristled at a tweet from @pastors4txkids and Dr. Charles Luke explained to him what “indoctrination” is. #txlege #txed

@cjtackett Are you sure that’s O’Hare? I think it may be Susan Sorrells, Phil Sorrells’ wife. They would be from Birdville. And O’Hare is TC Judge.

Let’s understand how public education is being discussed by the far right. This 🧵 is from a True Texas Project meeting last week. Those speaking are with the Texas Freedom Coalition. TASB is woke Traditional classic education Parents have no rights Districts lie #txed #txlege

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: It's finally here!! The May 2023 Book-Loving Texan's Guide to Texas School Board Elections is up and running. Please use this guide to keep book banners and anti-LGBTQ candidates off of school boards. Share and reach out with tips! docs.google.com/document/d/1sY…

A special thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who read their favorite books to elementary students across the district at today's annual Northwest Reads event! We are continually grateful for our community's ongoing support of childhood literacy. 📚 bit.ly/3yb67Iw

@MommaPolitics @pastors4txkids Interesting take. Seems to me that fraud would be even more rampant and hard to detect in unregulated private schools. Hope we never have to find out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The word is out. The voucher wave is subsiding. It’s a trickle in Texas. And soon will dry up. #txed #txlege

It’s all public schools all the time this Session—and I love it! So thankful to all the @txstatepta parents & supporters who showed up at the Capitol today to fight for our public schools! #teamtxpublicschools #TXPTARally23 #fundthefuture #txed #txlege

It's the day we've all been waiting for...Rally Day! 🥳 #TexasPTA members will be out in force, meeting with legislators and advocating for legislation that will help all Texas students to achieve their potential.  Don't forget to send/share your Rally Day photos with us!

Bottom line: Long established, quality schools don’t need vouchers & often won’t take them. Vouchers lead to pop up, private schools that soon become mostly gov’t funded & don’t last long. Enough w/gimmicks. It’s time to just fully fund our schools. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Suzi Kennon President of @txstatepta greets a packed house in the Priorities Caucus in preparation for Rally Day. “We oppose vouchers and we support raising the daily allotment while funding #texed on enrollment—not attendance. #TXPTARally23

@ByronNelsonCAHA My daughter said her friend brought her a piece and it was the best bread she’s ever eaten.

Enriched doughs this week in class.

@cjtackett Watched Twelve Angry Men last night with my 19 year old son. We marveled at how relevant the commentary is…still, today.

I re-read the letter and it is still so powerful, and applies in so many ways to where we still struggle today. If you haven’t read the full letter before, or you’d like to revisit it, you can read it here. It’s incredible. csuchico.edu/iege/_assets/d…

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that…the great stumbling block in the strive toward freedom is…the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice;”

The local public school is a community center of love. It is not a governmental agency. Texans know this. That’s why the market privatization of #txed will fail. #2022Elections #txlege

It will be our love, not our opinions which will be our greatest contribution to the world.

@kyleclarkspeaks @UTexasMoody Thanks for sharing the images from last night! #GTT My son is a new student at UT and I’m loving these peeks at his experience!

Our new students had such a great time meeting each other at #CommUnity 2022! @UTexasMoody students have, #GoneToTexas!

I've been hearing from people that they don't like the term Christian Nationalist. They tell me they prefer to use the term Nationalist Christians, or Nat-Cs for short.

Our great friends Charles Butt @HEB & Chris Huckabee @HuckabeeInc are teaming together to build a new elementary school—pro bono—for the children of #Uvalde. We honor these two great public education advocates! The spirit of #txed cannot be stopped! bit.ly/3NymljU
