Well, here we go with the right wing narrative. Reading and math scores plummet as racial and sexual activism replaces academics in schools. No, no, no. The reason our schools are failing here in Texas is because the Texas legislature refuses to give additional funding to our schools and our school teachers. Check out this right here.

It's a direct example of that. Earlier this session, um there was a press conference that I believe every member of your caucus likely attended, talking about a $15,000 pay raise for teachers. And I noticed that your amendment has a ten thousand dollar pay raise for teachers. Are you saying that teachers aren't worth that extra $5,000 that y'all were in this room just two months ago

talking about? No, sir. We we did that on purpose for you. So this is your opportunity to bring an amendment to the amendment. You want to join me? $15,000? Let's do it.

I'll put my signature down if you put yours down. Would you do $30,000 for teachers? Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Yeah. Would you need $30,000? You want to you want to be a big boy? Let's do it.

Would you I'll I'll delay $15,000. Would you do 30,000 for teachers? How much time do you need? Would you do 30,000 for teachers? Hey, are you gonna sign it? For 40,000? Are you gonna sign it? Cheap seats, man.

Come on. Let's go. No, we'll just vote it down. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you for not caring about teachers.
