@GregAbbott_TX You are so out of touch with the majority of Texas Republicans on this issue that it’s almost comical… We all know you and your rich buddies are the only beneficiaries of a “voucher” bill.

This session, I’m working closely with the Texas House & Senate to get school choice across the finish line. Together, we will ensure every child—no matter their zip code—has access to the BEST education options possible. Education freedom opens up opportunities for all Texans.

@BraedenFuller2 Well deserved!! Best part is… you’re just getting started!

Truly blessed to be nominated for such a prestigious award!!!

Brings back some great memories!!

Watching these guys get one more game in on the home field! @CoachesSouth All-Star game!

Gettin after it today!!

Extremely proud of this young man. It was a pleasure to coach you over the last 4 years. I’m excited to see what the future has in store for you! @BdonCastillo3

@GregAbbott_TX Agreed…. But when the state pays teachers more, schools have more options and get to choose NOT to hire “those” teachers.

No parent should be forced by the state to send their child to this school. I'm fighting for the right of parents to send their children elsewhere. Parents deserve school choice in Texas. The candidates I am backing will deliver that school choice.

@TUFootballTX you’re getting a really good football player…but an even better young man!!! Congrats @BdonCastillo3!!

Why are longtime conservative educators like me (lifelong R voter who voted for Abbott), posting and sharing this video? Here is why: Last Fall @GovAbbott recognized the statewide shortage of teachers, calling a special commission to address the issue. He was focused on public ed. But then, at some point he became fixated on vouchers and launched his Private school only tour where he began denouncing public ed calling us “Educrats” and indoctrinators. His actions were then echoed by many in #txlege who began affirming their west texas donors. They started clout chasing voucher lobbyists (with photo ops, using their catchphrases) and blasting public school supporters as Anti Family and Anti-Freedom. Then came the actual voucher bills in March. The bills did not (and do not) actually guarantee any choice for parents. That could be remedied, but instead they created a choice only for the schools. Further they exempted private schools from all the accountability and other compliance mandates which were being used to criticize schools. “PubEd test scores are bad”—but voucher bills removed state testing requirements “PubEd schools have too many admin”-but voucher bills exempted all the compliance, reporting, and mandates that require more admin etc. Then there were the actual bill hearings where many #txlege used their time to fawn over lobbyists while blasting actual fellow conservative public school leaders The icing was the recent public admission that the Governor is dangling any raise for teachers as a “carrot” for getting vouchers passed. So here we are. Me, a long time R voter with Public, Private, and Charter service now finding alignment with the remaining pro public ed republicans and also leading Democrats, but largely abandoned by the state leadership.
