Mega-List: TX House Republicans Willing To Kill Public Schools With Vouchers

Here are the Republicans trying to gut public schools—and the Democrats who want to stop them.

Warning: This is a long post because there are a lot of pro-voucher shit-Republicans.

The school voucher scheme is a taxpayer-funded subsidy funneled to private schools and vendors, operating with little transparency and no accountability for outcomes. These programs will divert public funds from public schools under the guise of offering choice and empowerment to Texas families.

Texas is inundated with dark money aimed at manipulating public education. This shadowy funding serves political and corporate interests intent on dismantling our public schools to advance the agenda of privatization and vouchers.

The Republican voucher scheme will lead to misappropriation of funds, loss of transparency, and a lack of oversight. Moreover, voucher programs will not be accessible to all families.

Who are the Texas House Republicans promising to vote for this scheme and, in turn, destroy Texas public schools?
