In Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, seven respected former trustees, along with current trustee Becky St. John, have come together to endorse Cynthia Rial Graham and Dalia Begin for GCISD school board. Is this the year the community unites to defeat PAC-bought extremists?

Once again, a majority of Texans speak out AGAINST voucher scams AND (90%) want real solutions like teacher pay raises. Can the txlege stop the political stunts & serve the people?

Texans hate vouchers.

We have known this forever.

Itโ€™s why defeats them.

Greg Abbott would know it too if he asked Texans honestly.

He wonโ€™t. His billionaires wonโ€™t let him.

They want to privatize with a voucher program.

Donโ€™t let them! Vote pro-public ed!!

Vouchers defund public schools in two main ways:

By shrinking the pool of general fund available for state aid, as taxpayers pay new costs for already-private schoolers.

And ๐Ÿ‘‡ as local districts lose small numbers of kids while stuck with the check of fixed operating costs.

Texas's public education system is the second largest in the country. Providing the funding necessary to prepare every student for a successful future is a huge responsibility. bit.ly/SchoolFundingTX

When the State takes control of the largest school district in Texas, we have an obligation to know what is happening with this & what is the plan. As a member of the House Public Education Committee, I stand ready to do our job to provide oversight & accountability.

How is it hypocritical for families to pay for their own private education?

They didnโ€™t beg the government to pay for it.

Like the Betsy DeVos people do.

The logic behind vouchers is nutty.

Why?

Because it all boils down to one thing and one thing only.

Greed.

The attack on public education by the political & billionaire class, led by Greg Abbott Tim Dunn & Betsy DeVos, is a direct attack on America.

Why?

They do not believe in a multicultural democracy.

They do not believe ALL children should inherit the American dream.

If they truly wanted to help students than those already in private schools would be ineligible as well as those that make over a certain amount of money.

Pastors for Children John Kuempel Gary VanDeaver DeWayne Burns Justin Holland The governor calls it when it's actually a program that takes taxpayer dollars out of your pocket and mine and hands it over to rich families so they can offset the tuition for their kids who are already attending private school.

It honestly baffles me. Republicans are fiscally conservative. The pilot program has not yet yielded results that vouchers are successful. Why would we expand not knowing the ROI? Seems simple to me. Public dollars should stay in public schools for ALL students.
