It's DECEITFUL for the voucher bill's author to suggest parity in public & private schools serving students w/ disabilities. He surely knows there are many types of disabilities that differ in nature, severity, & cost. Many private schools only admit students w/ less severe disabilities & can at any time deny services while public schools must take all & provide transparency & parental rights. And that's why this bill is discriminatory - b/c tax dollars would flow to private schools who discriminate based on disability & disability type w/o recourse.

Policymakers saying vouchers improve outcomes for students w/ disabilities is like doctors saying smoking improves a runner's mile time - It's malpractice. Vouchers create a dual, unequal system that leads to discrimination against children w/ disabilities. The focus must be on improving public ed for all.

Being a researcher for vouchers is like being a doctor for cancer - it's senseless. I had a chance to respond to the Governor's state of the state address yesterday. SB2 won't raise achievement, won't offer parents clear information to make decisions, & will require parents waive their children's rights/federal protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

We need common sense ed policy in TX to support teacher quality & hire more school counselors & ed psychologists. Not vouchers, a failed anti-civil rights policy pushed by a few billionaires. ⁦Texas AFT⁩ ⁦TSTA/NEA⁩ ⁦MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC⁩ ⁦RaiseYourHandTexas⁩ #txlege

Make no mistake about it, vouchers have a significant negative impact on voucher-users' achievement, walk back civil rights victories, & are a massive distraction from our state's failures to adequately fund public education & public health amid record budget surpluses.

Public schools are closing b/c of financial constraints due to inflation, security costs, & shrinking enrollment. This was preventable w/ a budget surplus but the governor pushed an externally-funded private school voucher program at the expense of 5.4 mill TX kids in public ed.

Large voucher programs have failed in other states partly b/c of a lack of quality control, esp when private schools pop up out of nowhere. Achievement is driven not by magical forces of choice, but by teachers & administrators w/ adequate time/resources who are well-prepared, continually learning, & monitored to ensure they follow a thoughtful curriculum & implement evidenced-based programs & instruction. #Txlege James Talarico gina hinojosa Diego Bernal MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC Diane Ravitch 🇺🇸🇺🇦📚🌈🗽🌹🇨🇱❤️ Pastors for Children TSTA/NEA Texas AFT See full story:
