While Gov. Greg Abbott stumps for school choice, he’s making the pitch only at Christian campuses — a hint at who the program may benefit most.

Rep. Diego Bernal, D-San Antonio, sees Abbott as blending political campaigning with policy town halls.

Among the protesters outside the event was Jenna Napier, who hoisted a poster reading, “DCA grad against vouchers.”“People want the best for their kids. That’s their intent. But you have to consider impact, not just intent,” she said. “It’s in our collective best interest to fund our local public schools.”Texas public schools are funded based on how many students attend. If children leave their neighborhood schools for private schools, state money generally leaves with them.

But he also took notice of the crowd of people against vouchers that rallied outside. His wife is a former public school teacher, and the family wouldn’t want this plan to hurt those institutions.At Denton Calvary, tuition for little ones is around $7,000 and goes above $9,000 for high school. Parents must also commit to being a co-instructor at home.

booooo

of course he did. only Christians matter to him. Texas has shown him that he doesn’t have to care about ANYBODY ELSE.

So my tax dollars would go to help fund these accounts, so that my tax money could be spent at a school where parents have to sign a statement of belief? No. That’s clearly a violation of the separation of church and state and it’s an absolute horror for education in Texas.

You make it sound like it’s a bad thing.

Of course he did.

Authoritarian facist.

Or..maybe he's just (justifiably) worried that the anti-choice public school teachers will scream at him.

Well it's a good thing we're not establishing an official religion in the state or anything. Screw the constitution when you feel like it, eh Republicans?

Because he’s a Christian nationalist.

GOOD

He should visit the satanic schools to see where your crack team of journalists are trained.

txchristabelle How many Christian schools has Biden visited?!?!

GOOD!

DMN jrhighdropouts only cover their personal political enemies because that's what the DMNOwners fund them to do. DMN jrhighdropouts only make their pitch to extreme leftwing nutjobs. DMN jrhighdropouts are about as useless to humanity as a pile of socio toddgillman path's…
