Is This Proposal DOA? Let’s Hope So

Let’s give whomever wants it an $8-thousand voucher of Texas taxpayers’ money so they can send their children to private schools. Hmmm. What’s wrong with this proposal? EVERYTHING! 

Yet Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called another special session of the legislature in the hope that this time his private school voucher proposal will be made law. Of course, despite Texas’s $33billion surplus, Abbott has proposed  no money to support and improve public education. 

The private school voucher proposal comes from the same man who put illegal razor-wired buoys in the Rio Grande River breaking federal laws and treaties with Mexico while injuring a number of people caught in the snares. Of course, human injury, or what the governor calls “deterrence” of would-be illegal immigrants was the plan all along. 

Greg Abbott is surely full of something, but it’s not good  ideas.
