texas governor shutting down private school vouchers will cripple Muslim private schools

quote:

Won’t the new dem governor just reopen them in a few months?

A Leftist talking point during this election cycle is that vouchers were overwhelmingly used by “the wealthy.”

I’ve seen statistics that say otherwise but the Leftists can’t possibly bring themselves to support vouchers.

My son well placed in county school admin indicates the conversation about shutting down school vouchers will most seriously impact the Sharia/muslim private schools because they are more dependent on the state welfare. Texas heritage schools have been more funded by parents and are less likely to be affected

Things that didn’t happen for $800 Alex…

Well Abbott received $12 million for his support. Thats a nice chunk of change.

But who needs a dependable public education system in this day and age?

Our local ISD has recently qualified for an influx of state grants aimed specifically at helping recruit & retain exemplary teachers at under-resourced campuses. Because they want kids to have dependable public schools and to have options for lower income families in failing schools.

But, actual policy has been tossed out the window in favor of propaganda. Pitting families against families & schools against schools is a better way to drive anger and get out the vote.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Closing schools. Several districts are operating on 4 day school weeks. I’m talking about Abbott pulling funding from the Texas public education system, removing principles from schools that were having success, appointing a superintendent to HISD who seems to be intentionally running the system into the ground.

Oh, so it’s Abbott’s fault the schools are shite? (It’s not.)

The numbers in 2025 were very similar to the numbers in 2015, when Abbott took office.

Teachers statewide didn't like Abbott and were vocal in ringing the bell that the ISDs were losing funds.
Granted many were probably voting Dem in other elections.
The voucher thing is good in principal but it does take funds from ISD's I guess. But if I was low income I would want to be able to chose a private school.
With my kids in private school, most that are there already probably wouldn't qualify financially for any kind of voucher. So it brings in a diff class of people and being a Christian School that might be an issue.
It pisses me off the amount of property taxes I pay and I'm not beneftting from any of the ISD (the bulk of the taxes) moneys.

So the end result is they’ll force Muslims into regular schools and force the regular schools to accommodate the Muslims’ every demand….reverse assimilation.

Abbott has served 3 years totaling 12 years. The schools have gotten worse over that time.

He certainly didn’t do anything to improve them.

They’re designed to get worse.

As a Republican, you can fight the Education establishment and let children suffer through the abortion that is our system, or you can provide help for people to escape it.

You’re a pussy moderate who has no courage of conviction. So you just wander around looking for porridge that is just right.
