Abbott rallies in Austin, Houston to push school voucher plan

Mandy Drogin of the Texas Public Policy Foundation encourages the attendees at the school choice rally on the north steps to go find their lawmakers at Texas Capitol to make their case for school choice Tuesday March 21, 2023..With a proposal to help fund private school tuition very much in doubt still, Gov. Greg Abbott took to the rain-soaked steps of the Texas Capitol on Tuesday to rally supportive parents into turning up the pressure on the Legislature.

While Abbott and his allies say the effort is about school choice, critics say they are really private school vouchers that allow people to take money out of the public school system to benefit private schools. But Abbott insists that as a product of public school himself, he will continue to fully fund the system. Abbott attended schools in Longview and then later graduated from Duncanville High School.

PolitiFact - Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas is No. 1 state for business, but is it?Gov. Greg Abbott said Texas has been the No. 1 state for business every year he’s been governor, but that comes from one magazine’s ranking. Other well-respected sources have Texas ranked lower. Typical of PolitiFact. They hunt for liberal sources to use as ammunition to feed their preconceived bias'. More importantly - Texas ranks 47th for employees!!! GovAbbott always focuses on companies and NOT his constituents. Politifact attacks conservatives again in efforts to affect elections. PF consistently avoids fact checking its media allies' daily media misinformation.
