This week and next marks the official start of a new school year for our students, teachers, and parents. I wish you all a safe and healthy return on your first day back! #txlege https://t.co/vl4gzIotzp
Expanded the ban on critical race theory passed! Proud to joint-sponsor SB 3 which expands the state ban on CRT taught in our public schools. 1/2 https://t.co/EDG5a9OV18
I joint-authored HB 3979 to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) from Texas public schools and to get the focus off indoctrination and back on education. Divisive, un-American ideas like CRT have no place in our country and certainly not in our classrooms. https://t.co/093WWvM07e
Retired Teachers are getting a 13th check! I co-sponsored SB 7 which will provide retired teachers with a supplemental payment from the @TRSofTexas. As a lifelong supporter of public education and educators, it is an honor to fight for our retired teachers at our state capitol! https://t.co/bIQpoSUq2i
@jmacmcgrath @EffectualEdu @pastors4txkids Following the vote I realized I had made an error and immediately went to the Journal Clerk to change my vote. This will be updated in the House journal and I can provide a copy of that record once it is available. (2/2)
SB 3 will ensure students are taught the moral and philosophical foundations of our nation and not the overly politicized and divisive viewpoints like CRT. 2/2
As a sixth generation Texan, I believe it's important to ensure our students are learning about the rich history of our great state. I joint-authored HB 2497 to establish the Texas 1836 Project to promote patriotic education & further awareness of our TX values in public schools. https://t.co/5afJU4jfXr
Expanded virtual education for school districts passed! Proud to vote in favor and pass SB 15 which will expand and fully fund virtual learning options for our public schools. https://t.co/cNCzeWZfWl
@jmacmcgrath @EffectualEdu @pastors4txkids I have always voted against vouchers and will continue to be a staunch supporter of our public schools. I apologize for any confusion.
