@karlap03 It’s a pleasure getting to work with you and learn from you! Congratulations!! 🎊 🎈🎉

Still taking it all in… Honored to be named 1st runner up for Teacher of the Year at MISD. I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing community and to do what I love. Thank you all for the love and support! ♥️👩🏽‍🏫

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard. You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway. You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard. And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school. Say no to vouchers.

Horrible news out of McKinney ISD tonight. We were in dire need for school funding two years ago and Greg Abbott didn’t allow it unless vouchers also passed. Now we are in desperate need! These are our kids Greg! Do the right thing fuck the $220 increase! #Saynotovouchers

@DeprogramUSA Speaking as an educator in public schools…. this is completely untrue. This is not happening and we are not doing this. Please do your research.

WATCH: In his time at the Christian Nationalist Courage Tour today, J.D. Vance called public schools "radical organizations" that teach socialism instead of reading, math, and other subjects required for graduation. Then he called for ending public funding of all education.

We had a great time at Vega yesterday kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month! #VivaVega #HispanicHeritageMonth

@GregAbbott_TX If you all actually believe this is happening, and believe his lies, shame on you! The ONLY curriculum we educators follow is the curriculum approved by the Texas Education Agency! School choice just leads to segregation. Such a shame.😔

Texas made great strides this year to remove woke agendas from our classrooms, support students with special needs, and provide parents access to libraries and curriculum. We won't stop there. To fully empower Texas parents, we MUST deliver school choice to every family.

@gonzales_bil @vegaelem Thank you for hanging with us!! 😍

Another fantastic start to the school year ⁦@vegaelem⁩ with an amazing admin duo! Love the positive energy ! #mymisd

There is a concerted attack on public schools in Texas. This is a map of the money and groups out front leading the charge. Yes, it is elected leaders like Abbott, Patrick, and other lawmakers, but it's billionaires, PACs, and Organizations pulling the strings. #txlege #txed

@Rena1898 @JimGBoyle @pastors4txkids @mimiswartz @HKronberg @OttTempleISD @CowboySupt @cltomlinson @James_Barragan @joshcowenMSU @nancypjohnson You are absolutely correct, unfortunately. So sad for the kids.

@JimGBoyle @pastors4txkids @mimiswartz @HKronberg @OttTempleISD @CowboySupt @cltomlinson @James_Barragan @joshcowenMSU @nancypjohnson They formed a whole committee with educators & admin to find out why teachers are leaving and then they ignored them. They continue to lie about what we’re teaching, why we’re leaving, what is in our libraries, etc. Their goal is to end public ed in TX. Period.

According to Dan Patrick, among the reasons teachers are leaving public schools is “because they are told to teach some things about sexuality to kids in the 3rd grade. They don’t like the pornographic library books that are in our school libraries.”These claims are unfounded.

@GregAbbott_TX 🤣😂 So, people ACTUALLY believe that we indoctrinate children in schools? We wouldn’t have the time to do that even if we wanted to. If these lies and attacks on educators continue, there will be no educators left to teach… so parents, be prepared to start homeschooling.

Our schools are for education, NOT indoctrination. Laws I signed this year will get woke agendas out of our classrooms and put parents back in charge. To fully empower parents in Texas, we must deliver school choice to every family.

@jedipadmaster 💯

Seriously teachers will engage with your have tos and data talks more if you let them prepare their rooms first.

Principals … here’s an awesome ice breaker your teachers are guaranteed to love…it’s called “Go work in your classroom.” #edutwitter

@JustinParmenter Truth.

The teacher shortage is a myth. What we have is a shortage of people who are willing to be overworked, underpaid and disrespected, all while doing the most important job in the world. 🍎 #nced

@GregAbbott_TX You have NO IDEA What you were talking about. Have you ever taught in a public school before? That’s ALL WE DO is focus on closing gaps in literacy and math. Period. That’s our entire focus. People, if you believe @GregAbbott_TX’s lies, then shame on you.

Reading & math scores plummet as racial and sexual activism replace academics in schools. Instead of prioritizing data-proven methods to close gaps in literacy & math, some public schools have spent time on political agendas. We’re changing that in TX. dailysignal.com/2023/06/22/rea…

Pathetic.

Texas: 9th largest economy in the world, 39th in the country for public school funding. Until that changes, no one in the #TxLege has fulfilled their campaign promises to educators & parents. Thank you, Rep. @GinaforAustin, for speaking truth. 👏

Vouchers and ESAs reduce equitable access to educational opportunities and weaken rights of students with disabilities. Now is the time to tell your legislators that vouchers and ESAs are unacceptable for Texas: p2a.co/Cx1pLUi #TxEd #TxLege #vOUCHersHurt

He just makes things up as he goes along to divide people and get his way. Don’t be taken in. He’s a liar and a charlatan who lacked the leadership to get us through the pandemic properly.
