In East Texas, skepticism over private school tuition assistance persists despite push from conservative leaders

I love the quotes in this piece by Jes Adams, a Tyler resident and mother of two children attending Tyler middle-schools because it captures the absolute truth behind Gov. Abbott's pro-voucher agenda:

“It’s interesting that he [Abbott] keeps saying ‘indoctrination,’ but he’s saying it at a private Christian school,” said Jes Adams, a 37-year-old mother who has two middle-school-aged children in Tyler. Adams was among the parents who protested Abbott’s event at Grace Community School. “It feels very much like he’s saying that Christianity is the way you’re supposed to go, and that anything that deviates from it is indoctrination.”

Yep, that's what he's saying in a nutshell. I guess that's what it means to prepare a run against Ron DeSantis.

Should SB 8 become law, East Texas public schools in the long run will, like other public schools statewide, be seriously harmed by this privatization agenda.

Gov. Greg Abbott and other conservatives say families need options to escape “woke” education in public schools. East Texas parents and school leaders say the national talking points are off base.
