“Is this the conservative thing to do to create another entitlement program, in effect to create a third education system?”

Rural teamed up with House Dems to reject from the massive school spending bill, HB 1. It's the latest embarrassing blow to the governor's agenda, according to Reporting Fellow @josephinelee: https://www.texasobserver.org/hb-1-vouchers-omnibus-special-session?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=audience

"The deliberate engineering of the war panic to sow distrust in public for the purpose of privatizing & the public system.

Christopher Rufo... propped up by Charles has publicly stated his goal is to... spread public distrust.

He had also told the NYTimes that he was “preparing a strategy of laying siege to the institutions” by promoting “school choice.”

@ZhiZhu @josephinelee @TexasObserver they absolutely don't even hide their awful policy anymore.

They just say it right out loud.

They want to bait Dems and they want to crush public education.

@TexasObserver
Gotta say that I'm surprised at Republicans doing the right thing for a change, especially when it bucks their leadership.

@ErisCaffee it is great to see and makes Abbott look like a fool. Double win.

@TexasObserver @josephinelee “Choosing” a school in a state with zero transportation options that aren’t “car” seems like a nightmare for everyone. Can you imagine what millions of families driving their kids across town every rush hour would do to traffic?

@phil @josephinelee this is a very interesting point.
