Texas House Republicans, including Rep. John Raney, filed an amendment to remove school choice from House Bill 1. This move has drawn criticism, with some Republicans being endorsed by Randi Weingarten’s union. The amendment was met with strong opposition from Rep. Briscoe Cain, who questioned the constitutionality of school choice. Additionally, 18 of the 21 Texas House Republicans who voted against school choice were endorsed by the teachers union. The issue has sparked a debate over education vouchers and the rights of children to attend the best schools in the state.
