76% of voucher applications from families already in private schools.
Less than 1% of public school families have applied.
@GregAbbott_TX told us vouchers save poor kids from failed schools.
He lied.
Vouchers subsidize rich kids in private schools.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

We’re proud to be recognized as a 2025 #ERPHonorRoll school by @ERP_Learn and @EdCampaign_USA which recognizes high-performing schools and districts. @FortBendISD

Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.” By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling last year.
We do not live in a country where the government can tell you what joke you can tell or what joke you cannot tell; or how you can or cannot report the news; or what you can or cannot say about the president.
Someone please tell the CEOs this.

If this happened in any other country, we would know what to call it: The autocrat taking revenge on a man who angers him. A man who dares to criticize him.
The most important thing in American life right now is to see the thing in front of your face, and name it.

📲 Important: Parents and students who use the Skyward mobile app will need to reinstall it to connect with the new system.
More details are on the way! To learn more and view video tours of the new Family Access layout, visit: fortbendisd.com/SkywardQ

For decades, I’ve worked to ensure that #Texaspublicschools are judged with fairness, accuracy, and respect. But right now, our accountability system is doing just the opposite, all because of a decision that changed the rules after the game was over. fotps.org/post/stop-moving-t…

#Texas thrives because of its #publicschools. But instead of strengthening them, some politicians aim to dismantle them. Underfunded, overburdened, politicized—our schools are doing more with less. The “failing schools” narrative? It’s false.

You forgot:
☹️46th in education funding.
☹️Bottom fifth in per pupil spending
Yet somehow ALSO…
🤨 Trying to be #1 richest school voucher state in the USA. 🤔

Voucher waffling #txlege R's have to make a moral choice now.
Do they serve their people who despise vouchers?
Or do they serve @GregAbbott_TX & his bully-billionaires?
It's Integrity. Decency. Duty.
Just keep vouchers from a floor vote!

Three years ago today, Russia launched an unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine. A few short weeks later, @KarenPence and I travelled with @SamaritansPurse and witnessed firsthand the flood of women and children fleeing the Russian onslaught near the Ukrainian border. We will never forget it.
Every day since, Ukrainian soldiers have bravely fought and died on this front line of freedom and the American people and our Allies have rightly given them the means to defend their nation. As Leader of the Free World, America must continue to Stand Strong and lead free nations to give Ukraine the support they need to win a victory for their sovereignty, security and freedom.

A packed church with folks who do NOT want @GregAbbott_TX diverting money from our #txed public school kids to subsidize the private ed of affluent kids!
Or using our tax $$$ to promote religion violating our religious liberty!
Stay out of our church schools, Governor!

Dr. Audra Ude retweeted
Vouchers are designed to destroy public education.
They subsidize the affluent in private schools with money taken from the working class in public schools
Ask yourself why teachers are underpaid? #txed underfunded? Schools closing? TRS threatened?
Call your #txlege House now!
