00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,920
Guys, I am sick and tired of the school
voucher

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:02,320
thing.

3
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,240
And the state houses too, when they said these
are

4
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,080
public funds for public schools, as is
outlined and stated

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,560
specifically in the Texas Constitution.

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,720
And then established a rule saying that no
public funding

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,880
can go to private entities, thus blocking
school vouchers for

8
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,600
the entire session.

9
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,280
And now, despite having the same political
makeup in the

10
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,280
House, Abbott wants to establish a new session
in order

11
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,600
to try to revive the school voucher program
under the

12
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,680
guise of saying that, oh, we're giving power
to the

13
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,080
parents.

14
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,280
Which is not his true intention.

15
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,280
What this will do is defund public schools, as
every

16
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,280
kid who basically takes his voucher and goes
to a

17
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,080
private school takes money away from the
public school to

18
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:32,960
the private school.

19
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,520
If this was truly about having parents be able
to

20
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,520
bring their kids to private schools, then you
would just

21
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,880
give additional taxpayer money directly to the
private schools rather

22
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,880
than taking it away from the public schools.

23
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920
This is specifically designed to hurt public
schools.

24
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,880
So please explain to me.

25
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,160
Explain to me why anybody would want this.

26
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,840
Look, I've seen comments in our previous
videos in the

27
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,760
past saying that school teachers are all
groomers and therefore

28
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,040
we need to defund public education.
