Texas Republicans are trying to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. I told the bill author: <U+201C>This bill is not only un-constitutional and un-American, it<U+2019>s deeply un-Christian.<U+201D> #txlege https://t.co/TI7TmGvIKM
Today I killed HB 3979—the bill that attempted to teach our students a whitewashed version of American history—with a Point of Order. If kids are old enough to experience racism, then they're old enough to learn about it. #txlege https://t.co/Xg5vmm4Bvh
RT @POTUS: Let<U+2019>s give public school teachers a raise.
When I was a public school teacher, I struggled to make ends meet. My coworkers drove Ubers at night and sold their blood plasma for extra money. Today I filed a bill mandating a minimum salary of $70,000 for every teacher in Texas. #txlege https://t.co/Kk8NuxxVNI
Marjorie Taylor Greene said we need <U+201C>a national divorce.<U+201D> This is my colleague John Lujan<U+2014>he<U+2019>s a Republican. I<U+2019>m a Democrat. But today we<U+2019>re introducing legislation to ensure foster kids get a free higher education. We don't need to divorce. We need to work together. #txlege https://t.co/obI5JJzh5c
Texas Republicans are trying to replace school counselors with untrained, unsupervised religious chaplains. I asked the bill author about the dangerous implications of this legislation. #txlege https://t.co/8l2Cuebi7O
Texas Republicans are banning books in school libraries across our state. Today we<U+2019>re staging a <U+201C>read-in<U+201D> in the Texas Capitol to protest this censorship. @GregAbbott_TX: you can borrow my copy of Fahrenheit 451. https://t.co/NJNSn5qWCX
The Texas State Board of Education adopted a new Bible-infused curriculum for elementary school students. These new lessons elevate Christianity over the other major world religions. This curriculum is unconstitutional, un-American, and deeply un-Christian. https://t.co/QEq2RF7pQ3
If you<U+2019>re a Texas politician who voted to remove MLK from our civics curriculum, maybe hang back tomorrow
