@brianeharrison You mean you're against the local taxing entities advocating on behalf of their constiuency with the legislators in Austin? If this is your policy - why not ban ALL lobbyist for everything - oh wait, that'd hurt your own pocketbook.
English
Because our “Republican” Texas House Speaker kept bills to ban taxpayer funded lobbying off the floor last session….
Texas taxpayers are still being forced to pay for lobbyists, who lobby for woke, leftist policies… and for HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES!
Complete betrayal.

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 Taxpayer-funded lobbying in Texas hit as much as $111.5 MILLION during the 89th Legislature, more than doubling since the 85th Legislature. The government shouldn’t lobby itself with your money. It's time we end the weaponization of our tax dollars. Read the full report👇 texaspolicy.com/when-governmen… @TPPF

@StephenDunson @FamilyProjectTX Fact, they know that but it doesn’t fit their narrative.
English
@FamilyProjectTX Uh, the LOCAL residents vote FOR IT - it's their tax dollars and they're perfectly aware of what they're being used for - so YES Texans Do Want better facilities. I don't know of ANY that are $100 million but knock yourself out.

Texans don't want another $100,000,000 highschool sports facility; they want lower property taxes.

@CaryCheshireTX @KenPaxtonTX Corrupt and an adulterer. The perfect pony boy for conservatives

Attorney General @KenPaxtonTX is the most conservative AG in the nation. He is a battle-tested patriot with a record of standing up for Texans and putting America First.
I’m looking forward to calling him Senator Paxton! #txlege #TXSen

@Texas_Taxpayers Who says it is against their interests? There are many that support their local schools.

Taxpayer-funded lobbying is an unethical practice that must end!
Your tax dollars shouldn't be used to lobby against your interests. 👇

The Texan@TheTexanNews
With more than 275,000 student applicants for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program, spokesperson @travispillow said the program will “face a really tough period where we're going to have to turn tens, hundreds of thousands of Texas families away.” thetexan.news/issues/educati…
English
Bullcrap. For yrs they sold it as “getting poor, minority students out of failing schools”. They only switched to “the unique education that’s right for every child” when their polling showed the original narrative was tanking. Anyway, 200% above the poverty line ain’t poor & the vast majority of privates don’t provide SPED services so your new narrative is a lie.
English
Let’s be clear about something. The TEFA program was designed to help EVERY family in Texas who needs education options.
The program is designed to ensure that those who need options most urgently, SPED and low-income, get it first.
That’s exactly what’s happening. Try again.
Coach Davis@coachdavis2122
@nathancunneen No sir, far from it. You’re the one that has to cover up the fact that you sold this as a means to help the poor, used them as pawns and yet only 32% of applicants are under 200% of FPL…. Anything for the grift, right?
English
@NealMcCluskey Getting a voucher and getting accepted into a private school are two different things.
English
@whiteb_PS Everyone gets to deny those students. I've seen it.
English
This is the true reflection of #SchoolChoice in Texas. It's needed and wanted. It's also going to SPED and low income students first. Having said that, there is huge demand for parental empowerment in Texas and there is more work to do. #TEFA #txlege #txed 🍎❣️🍎

@BrendaHowardMus Are saying private schools will accept all applicants?
English
@BrendaHowardMus Also students living in a public school’s boundaries, have to be enrolled in that school. That includes students with attendance, discipline, or academic issues. Private schools get to deny those students.
English
@whiteb_PS Nope. Same as public schools. Our superintendent created a policy by which she has the SOLE authority for deciding whether or not a student can attend that public school. So...there's that.
P.S. I know there's a law, but somehow, ISDs get around them all.

@CaptTuttle2215 @joshcowenMI @CraigHarrisNews Public schools have an annual financial audit and Boards have an open meeting to discuss the results.
English
@joshcowenMI @CraigHarrisNews The fact that you’ve never written anything about the billions of dollars in fraud and misuse for public school funds through administrators and districts, tells us everything we need to know about your activism against school choice for parents.
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
English
In The Privateers I explain how this selective insider access to voucher data helped keep the voucher push moving during the early years—especially as results got increasingly bad and reports could get delayed, buffered by fuzzier side analyses, and more favorably written
Craig Harris@CraigHarrisNews
At @12News, we had to sue @RealTomHorne to get public records on ESA transactions as @azedschools racked up a big legal bill at taxpayers’ expense. Yet, when a pro-ESA group like @edchoice wants similar records, @RealTomHorne office hands out more information than given to us.

The first school w/out a TX address has signed up for vouchers, despite a statute which bars dollars flowing to schools in other states, but allows outside vendors.
A Florida online school joined as a "school acting as a vendor"

@RealBPhil You can say it’s meant for poor children all you want, the data suggests that for those that are under 200% of FPL only account for less than 40% of applicants. You and many other grifters used the poor as a means to funnel money to those already in private schools.
English
The left-wing media is going to lead with race because in their myopic woke bubble, it’s the only thing that matters. But education freedom accounts have always been geared toward helping low- and middle-income families who either can’t afford or struggle to pay for alternatives to the public schools that are failing them. And the TEFA data shows the vast majority of applicants come from low- and middle income families.

Most of Texas’ school voucher applications come from white families and children who previously attended a private school or homeschool. From @TexasTribune: kut.org/texas/2026-04-…

@RealBPhil How to say you don’t know anything about school budgets.
English
Here's your regular reminder that school districts don't need the state's permission to give teachers raises. If they wanted to reduce the bloated salaries of administrators or transfer wasteful spending, they could easily do that on their own.
Houston Chronicle@HoustonChron
The University of Houston found that the average pay of a Texas public school teacher dropped about $5,000 in the last decade to nearly $63,000. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

No way!!!
I thought vouchers were the “rising tide that lifts all boats.” Straight quote from Corey DeAngelis, aka Seth Rose, porn star.
Turns out they just lift the rich white boats. Exactly as we all predicted.

No, Texans didn't vote for Vouchers!
@GregAbbott_TX threatened @TXGOPCaucus members with being "primaried" if they allowed their constituents to vote on school vouchers!
Had Texans been "allowed" to vote, Vouchers would have failed!

Senator Sarah Eckhardt@SarahEckhardtTX
Texans were sold on the notion that vouchers would serve the kids who needed them most to "escape" failing public schools. But now that applications are closed, the data shows 73% of applicants are already enrolled in private or home schools. We are hurtling toward an outcome that was predicted from the very start: a massive transfer of our public money into private hands with no accountability. #txlege
