There will be a new face on the Texas State Board of Education after Brandon Hall, a 27-year-old pastor from Parker County, defeated incumbent Pat Hardy in the District 11 Republican primary.
Hall received 53.24% of votes compared to 46.76% for Hardy. Hall will advance to the general election along with Democrat Rayna Glasser, who ran unopposed in her party’s primary.
Hall ran on a platform of protecting parental rights, preventing the teaching of Critical Race Theory and promoting Christian conservative values in education. He’s also a supporter of Gov. Greg Abbott’s push for voucher-like education savings accounts, which would allow parents to use public tax dollars on private education.
While not opposed to school choice, Hardy took a stance against using public money to pay for private schools.
“Should someone wish to start a school of Satan, and they will, I do not want my tax dollars to pay for that education choice,” Hardy previously told the Star-Telegram.

I was going to ask whether he was an orthodox or progressive pastor, but the article makes it obvious he’s on God’s side.

Evil democracy opposing Christians......😊👍
Pat Hardy is Patricia Hardy.
Hes entirely wrong. Once they accept public money they are not really a private school, the more they accept the more strings are attached.
The term “private school” has been a lie ever since the federal government got involved.
No matter how many times Ive read our founding documents, I just cant find the part about organizing youth indoctrination camps.
You might want to have a look at “EDUCATION: Section 3” of the Wisconsin Constitution.
And it would fail. Tax money should support school choice and the best option around. Not the commie teachers unions and the plethora of administrators and wasteful spending that comes from public screwels.
Thanks for posting the down ballot Texas results.
It seems that it was a generally good day for the MAGA candidates.
Indiana adopted a school voucher program 10 years, or so, ago and has continually expanded it ever since. It works very well.
Bravo!!!
“start a school of Satan”
As opposed to the government run school of Satan.
Good to hear. I expect that is the case.
You’re Welcome.... I Voted for Brandon Hall, and for Court of Criminal Appeals Judges recommended by Texas AG Ken Paxton.
