“This is about values,” Abbott said. “This is about constitutional principles. This is about a restoration of who we are as a country.”

The governor acknowledged that it is highly unlikely he would endorse a similar initiative for more progressive, left-leaning causes, but added that “it would not be illegal” for them to exist in public schools. Abbott signed Senate Bill 12 earlier this year, a sweeping state law that banned student clubs with an LGBTQ+ focus.

This is about turning public schools into glorified babysitting and indoctrination. If you want your kids to actually learn anything, you’re going to have to utilize your “voucher” to pay for a decent private school.

Private Schools are, themselves, often a nasty trap. Tons of add-on costs, underpaid staff, sketchy locations, and a nasty habit of not actually teaching you anything necessary for college admissions.
