Greg Abbott forcibly took over Houston ISD — overthrowing our local elected officials. Props A and B would give $4.4 billion to a Governor who already wants to defund our public schools. I don’t trust Abbott to do what’s best for our schools. Vote NO on the HISD bond.

I'm less than proficient when it comes to Texas politics, to say the least. But how in the world do such hate filled, greedy people like Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz keep getting elected?

Vote No to HISD bonds!! No oversight over funds! The bond is being pitched by voucher supporting private charter folks. Say NO!

@GeneforTexas Uh, sorry Ann. The state DID have take over the district.

This is the first time I've voted against a school bond, I'm in Austin.The reason is the point you made, I don't know what is going to happen with Public schools and I am not voting more money for these Private "Christian" indoctrination schools.

Greg Abbott is a mass murderer.

It's sad that public schools can't get funding anymore. I was very upset when Gov. Abbott held their funding hostage over vouchers. I am equally upset that you are acting just like him. Who in Texas will stand up for public school?

Vote YES! The district was failing so badly that the state had to take over. They failed the kids. Now the state needs to make sure they fix the problems that these local elected officials created. Vote YES!

Those schools were failing those children so bad, the State had to take over.

Greg Abbott is trying to defund our schools with a private school voucher scam. Not on our watch. Today I joined my colleagues to introduce the Fully Fund our Future Act which will invest in ALL students and give every teacher a $15,000 raise. #txlege

With a surplus of $32.7 billion, #Texas has the resources to fully fund our public schools. #Republicans like Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott wish to defund our public schools with a voucher scheme that only benefits a few thousand kids at the expense of millions. We have the resources to pay our teachers well, provide schools with technology, and make sure teachers don’t have to dig into their own pocket to support their students. Schools are underfunded, not under-served. #txlege #TxEd #TogetherWeThrive #TXAFTConvention

Dustin Burrows & Greg Abbott want to give $1 billion to wealthy families who already send their kids to private school. The Texas House budget does more harm than good. It underfunds our neighborhood schools—and the voucher scam creates a permanent hole in our school budgets.

This week as our kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test graded by AI and manipulated by Greg Abbott’s Texas Education Agency Commissioner, let’s remember that upon Greg Abbott’s direction, my amendment to the voucher scam bill to require the same test be given to private school kids who receive vouchers as our kids in public schools take was rejected. As he forces a supersized STAAR test on our kids in public school, Greg Abbott knows that private school parents won’t tolerate the STAAR test. We should not tolerate a governor who wrecks our public schools. It’s time to fire Greg Abbott and end the STAAR test.

Greg Abbott hasn’t visited a Texas public school in years. Public schools are closing across our state, but the governor is nowhere to be seen. This is Abbott's school closure crisis.

Greg Abbott calls his voucher scam “school choice.” But we already have school choice—neighborhood schools, charters, magnets, academies & more. Vouchers don’t give us choice. Vouchers give our tax dollars to unaccountable private schools that can discriminate against our kids.

Like Gov. Abbott, House Republicans are scheming to defund our public schools with private school vouchers. At a Ways and Means Democrats, I spoke against GOP vouchers that will undermine federal aid to public schools, which serve 90% of America’s children.

“The state of my state — is a state of concern.” Texas teachers like Dior deserve our respect and investment, not some private school voucher scam. Greg Abbott, our public money should go to public schools!

Greg Abbott sold Texas out — schools, hospitals, women’s health, even our water — all for billionaire donors. This is a people-powered movement to take our state back. End-of-year matters. Every dollar counts. Donate. Let’s end the Abbott era.

This local government in Texas, for a small town of only 70,000 people, found that their residents were spending $4 million a year sending money to Israel. When the citizens tried to stop saying, "we actually don't want to do that. We want to send that to our local schools. Our fire departments maintain our roads." Governor Greg Abbott said, you can't stop sending your tax dollars to Israel. It's against the law.

Call me a liar to my face Greg Abbott. I stand with the millions of Texas moms with kids in our #txed neighborhood schools who see your con & know the harm you are doing to our students. I’ll be in my office.

Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats. But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids. This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

Our public schools — especially in rural areas — are underfunded. As Governor, I will work across the aisle to ensure schools and educators have the resources they need for our students to thrive.

Governor Greg Abbott said school vouchers — which allow public dollars to pay for private school — are an emergency item this Legislative Session. I took a look back at Edgewood ISD which lost over $75.2 million in funding as a result of a voucher system.
