AUSTIN - Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick unveiled key portions of the upper chamber's education agenda on Tuesday, reviving proposals long unpopular with teacher groups that Patrick said would empower parents and help students leave poor-performing schools.

"We'll be talking about school choice and pre-K at a later date," Patrick said at a morning press conference in the Capitol, flanked by members of the Senate Committee on Education.

I sense fear rising up in the education cabal.

It's time we took "education" and our money back from that mob.

I see a lot of cracks in the school house door - from pre-K up to and including universities.

Education should be about serving the students, not serving the teacher labor unions.

Exactly.

Time for a Gov. Scott Walker mention.... : ) .....He has the union goons fit to be tied.

Scott Walker on twitter

Imagine a Pres. Jeb Bush and how education will continue to be a socialist experiment.

Imagine a Pres. Scott Walker the "un-knowledge-able" [in the Left's eye but NOT in their hearts] cheering on education reform [give it back to the parents and local districts].

REAL teachers are cheering too!!!
