We can’t forget what Greg Abbott did. When a bipartisan coalition rejected his voucher scam, he retaliated by withholding funding from our public schools. He’s sacrificing 5.5 million school children to please his billionaire donors. It’s unconscionable. Immoral. Unacceptable.

No lies detected. Abbott admitted it in Oct of 2023.

I want to say that it’s refreshing to hear your beliefs and your strength with leadership. My hubs is the son of a Pastor who preached for 75 years. He always said that Pastors who give to themselves before their community, were not real Christians. I believe that too. Keep doing what you do. It’s making a difference from someone in CA.

Greg Abbott is only pushing this because he’s getting kick backs and he’s lining the pockets of his millionaire donors. He doesn’t care about Texas kids

I'm not going to forget you got on a plane with a bunch of other losers and left the State so y'all didn't have to vote in our house and hid in DC. Abbott should have tossed y'all in jail for that!

@baabybuffalo And is doing this on purpose to make some people believe public schools are failing and we need private schools. When we could just properly fund public schools.

Greg Abbott has awakened a bipartisan, pro-public education movement. The same day he signed his billionaire voucher scam into law, Texans rejected anti-public education extremists in school board races across the state. Even in defeat, I see hope. A new movement is beginning.

Greg Abbott has called a FOURTH special session to pass his voucher scam. He’s doing the bidding of two billionaire mega donors — Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks — who want to dismantle public education. Watch what happened when I called them out in committee…

Abbott’s voucher scam sold out our kids and our neighborhood schools. When I’m Governor I’ll end voucher giveaways and get back to basics. It’s time to put 5.5 million Texas public school kids first.

Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors are trying to defund our schools with a voucher scam. My colleagues and I are fighting to fully fund our schools. Our message is simple: fund students, not scams. #txlege

.Greg Abbott’s inaction has cost Leander ISD over $34 million dollars this school year. Teachers and students are suffering — we don’t need a voucher scam — we need a real investment in our public schools. I have 34 million new reasons to fight Greg Abbot’s voucher scam.

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 is the reverse Robin Hood — he steals from the poor to give to the rich. His voucher scam will bankrupt public schools to help rich parents pay for private school. Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. #txlege

Greg Abbott makes 5.5 million public school kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test in the name of “accountability” while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass. That’s wrong. As a mother with a son in public school, when I’m governor I’ll make it right by ending the STAAR test & the voucher scam.

Greg Abbott is bringing his private school voucher bill to the floor of the Texas House next week. Thousands of teachers & parents showed up at the Capitol to send a message loud enough for him to hear from the Governor’s mansion: “We don’t want your billionaire voucher scam.”

Greg Abbott conveniently struggles to find power when Texans need it most. When his billionaire donors need something, he can move mountains to deliver for them. We need a governor who’s going to deliver real results for Texans.

It's not "Trump" who is the authoritarian, it's Gavin Newsom. He was the one who cruelly closed schools, small business, churches for years on end just to please his union donors and far left activists. WE WON"T FORGET. When I'm governor I will appoint a Covid Accountability Commission to make sure they pay a price for what they did.

🚨 $640 MILLION in federal funding was given to Georgetown University in 2025. Here’s what your money is funding: Professor Badr Khan Suri (non-citizen from India) was arrested by DHS and ICE for ties to Hamas, and promoting Hamas propaganda after Oct 7. His wife is the daughter of a former Hamas official. He claims that he was abducted by ICE and “disappeared.” He then lies to the public, stating his family didn’t know where he was. He’s been deemed “deportable” by a federal judge. He’s still here. He’s still employed.

Rick Levy, President of the Texas AFL-CIO: Donald Trump called our governor, Greg Abbott, and said he wanted five more Republican seats in Congress from Texas. He knows his policies are unpopular. He knows it won’t go over well that he signed the largest transfer of wealth from working-class people to billionaires in history. He knows it’s not popular that, with a stroke of his pen, he stripped collective bargaining rights from over a million workers. So rather than fight fairly, he’s trying to rig the maps. If they get away with it here, we need to fight back in California, New York, Washington…

Only 3 United States Presidents sent their kids to a public school Even Horace Mann, the guy that standardized the whole public school system, homeschooled his kids From the beginning, the public school system was designed by elites who didn’t subject their own families to it The 3 most residents who did send to for kids to public schools were - Theodore Roosevelt - William Howard Taft - Jimmy Carter In the last century+ it’s been very rare. Almost every president with school age kids in the White House have chosen private schools Obamas, Clintons, etc all sent their kids went to private schools
