When Rep. Sam McKenzie asked how many students were already in private school before applying for Lee’s voucher scam, the answer was “don’t know, don’t care.” TN tax payers deserve to know how many wealthy families are sending their kids to private school on the tax payers dime

Vouchers don’t help poor kids — they just help rich parents who already send their kids to private school. I asked if Greg Abbott’s voucher scam would give $80,000 to wealthy CEOs. The answer was YES. #txlege

“What’s a good reason NOT to track how many kids using Gov. Bill Lee’s vouchers were already in private schools?”🤷🏼 We asked Republicans Lee Reeves Representative Mark White Kirk Haston why they wouldn’t back the Jeff Yarbro Rep. Sam McKenzie bill to require tracking it. None had an answer.

.James Talarico exposes Republican private school voucher scam: “Elon Musk is a Texas resident, he would be eligible to apply for these funds. Elon has 8 school age children. That's $2 million in taxpayer funds for Elon Musk. You're actually going to be taking the tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize the tuition of wealthy families who already have their kids at private schools."

Greg Abbott’s School Voucher Scam gives a billion-dollar handout to a handful of wealthy families in private schools. 5.4 million students in Texas public schools get short-changed, including Rural Texans in 150+ counties who don’t have access to a private school. #txlege

The TX taxpayer-funded voucher will mostly go to families w/kids already in private school. In fact, TX taxpayers will be on the hook for the private school tuition of EVERY STUDENT ALREADY IN PRIVATE SCHOOL--leaving 5.5 million kids in neighborhood schools w/less $.

Oklahoma passed a $250M private school tax credit (voucher) in 2023. We now know more than 90% of recipients were already in private school & just 361 of nearly 40,000 students came from low-income households. HB3705 would expand it to $275M/year. (Vote count at the end.)

Many families have a child in public school and a child in private school—at the same time. Parents know their kids better than anyone, and they know that different students have different needs. School choice gives these families options and opportunities.

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.

76% of voucher applicants are wealthy families already in private school. We knew this would happen — and Republicans voted down my amendment to prevent it. Voucher scams are a taxpayer-funded handout for the wealthy.

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.

Wow. Watch this video. James Talarico DEMOLISHES Abbott’s school voucher program & EXPOSES it for what it is: A taxpayer subsidy aimed at helping wealthy families buy down the cost of the private schools where they ALREADY send their kids. Some CEO or investment banker with two kids in private school could get $80,000 in taxpayer funds to subsidize their education. It’s an absolute SCAM.

The Texas School Voucher Scam is a huge 🖕 to Rural Texas. Republicans are screwing over 5.3 million Texas students so a few rich kids in the big cities can get a discount on private school. Call your reps and tell them to vote NO on the SB 2 voucher scam.
