Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted Sunday, May 14 that the Texas House needs to get in line with the Texas Senate about school choice legislation.

Yeah. We're getting down to the end of the session. We've got about two weeks left. The house has been slow to act on Senate priorities. The House would probably argue the Senate's been slow to act on House priorities. This generally happens. Where we are now is the governors made clear that education freedom is a priority and that he is going to require that it pass both houses and get to his desk this legislative session.

, you don't have the support and or the real structure to fund public education going forward with the voucher program. Matt Mackowiak, critics of school choice say the Republicans are only doing this for their donors. What do you say to that?I don't even know what that means. Donors are generally wealthy, and wealthy parents can afford to put their kids in private school, parochial school, homeschool, you name it. Its poor parents that are going to benefit from this.
