Despite school choice being a Texas GOP priority, Republican officials joined Democrats against it.

Since it is difficult for Democrats to win elections in Texas, they run as Republicans but vote with the Democrats. Unfortunately, Texas is overrun with RINOs.

They are LITERALLY RINOs here...they aren’t like most in Congress that support 95% of Trump’s judges (yet we call them RINOs because they don’t support the other 5%), the RINOs here are literally Democrats, and we pay the price.

Lots of fellow travelers in Texas...

School choice has always been a GOP bastion against government indoctrination...

"Matt Robinson (R-Friendswood), Audrey Young (R-Apple Springs), Pam Little (R-Fairview), Sue Melton-Malone (R-Robinson), Jay Johnson (R-Pampa), Aicha Davis (D-Dallas), Georgina Perez (D-El Paso), Ruben Cortez (D-Brownsville), Marisa Perez-Diaz (D-Converse), Lawrence Allen (D-Houston), and Rebecca Bell-Metereau (D-San Marcos) all voted in support of the anti-student position."

How many of these were part of the "ed biz" bureaucracy before gaining office? I would bet most of them.

Screw the school board. Time for Texas Congress to become adults.

Good news. The legislature can reject the Texas State Board of Education's call.

They turned deaf ears on voters, let's see what the legislature does.

Do any of them have relatives who are employed by public schools? That’s been a problem with some Republican congressional representatives in some places (daughters are teachers, etc.). They vote to funnel more money into public schools and support teachers’ and administrators’ social agendas (CRT, feminism, LGBTxxxx causes, etc.).

Texas is not as “free” as you think.

School choice means less money for laundering/public schools. And disparate impact you know.

I will say, School choice needs to happen, but it needs to happen with some gradience - else they will get the thrown-together for-profits self-destructing which will set back the movement for a generation.

Any time the government just starts throwing money around quickly it is always a mess.
