It’s a new year and the legislature isn’t even in session… but the voucher fight continues. When Governor Abbott lost the vote back in November he promised to retaliate by primarying Republicans who wouldn’t vote for vouchers. Is Governor Abbott making good on his promise? What kind of money is pouring into his coffers? We bring you all the latest updates.
We spoke to Patty Quinzi from Texas AFT (American Federation of Teachers) to get a sense of the current landscape. She left us with a hopeful message about the power of people. We will continue following this contentious fight because education is a major front in the fight for democracy.
Hey listeners! We are looking for feedback on The Voucher Scam. We will be hosting an online focus group where you can share what you think of the podcast. Email us at hello@mothersfordemocracyinstitute.org and let us know that you're interested in participating.
