Abbott And Patrick Dressing Up Vouchers As “Parental Choice” – A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing?
The Governor said schools should be “for education, not indoctrination” and that they should get “back to teaching our students the fundamentals.” For Abbott this means straying away from whomever is trying to push a “social agenda” that doesn’t align with his values.
Charter schools were established for the elite who don't want their children going to public schools. They do not deserve to be subsidized. I went to public school in a small town of 3,000 people. We graduated from this school doctors, a heart surgeon, lawyers, businessmen, educators, and the general public. I taught in a public school for forty years before retiring. Public schools in small towns rely on the revenue from property taxes. Charter schools take money from that pool which makes it difficult for public schools to survive.
I call BULL - CR-P. The GOP wants to raise up an army of feckless, gullible, indoctrinated rednecks to keep up their reputation as people who bear a similarity to the dodo. They belong back in the 50's watching out for the " Red Scare " & generally everything not WASP Evangelical & hyper - conservative.
