As Texas moves into another special session, called by the governor to ram vouchers down our collective throats, Anette visits with Rev. Charles Foster Johnson again, Executive Director of Pastors for Texas Children. Once again, the Texas Legislature will determine whether or not Texas slides down the slippery slope of spending taxpayer dollars for the benefit of mostly affluent Texans who already send their children to private school, or sending state-funded debit cards to families who homeschool. Should the Texas House not stand firm against vouchers, the projections are that, not only will this significantly hurt public schools, it will empty the coffers of the state in short time. Voucher and education research experts mentioned include Dr. Joshua Cowan and Dr. David DeMatthews. Education podcaster mentioned is Jennifer Berkshire with the Have You Heard Podcast. As Charlie points out, call your representative to stand against vouchers. Don't let Greg Abbott bully Texas into bad education policy.
