The debate on school choice in Texas has intensified, with proponents arguing that all families should have the right to choose the best schools for their children. However, there is opposition from some legislators and teachers' unions, who are accused of sending their own children to private schools while not supporting school choice for others. Texas House Republicans have been divided on the issue, with some voting against school choice, leading to criticism from figures such as Senator Ted Cruz. The debate has also attracted attention from national media outlets, with The Wall Street Journal and Fox News covering the ongoing controversy.

From @WSJopinion: School choice as we know it won’t fix the American education system. The movement must return to Milton Friedman’s vision of unfettered competition, which no existing school-choice program achieves, writes @Dr_RolandFryer. https://t.co/TtObXduY6d

Most Americans have no clue how quickly the public education system is deteriorating. Exceptions apply, but in most cases it is actively anti-civilization. School choice is the most important movement in America, and elected Republicans who oppose it must be destroyed.
The group of anti-parent Republican Texas State Reps. who voted today with radical unions over parents and kids to kill school choice should be on notice. Their actions today were completely shameful. Parents in these districts will work vigorously in the primaries to defeat… https://t.co/U0DAT0InCL
Texas Republican primary voters voted on a school choice proposition in the ballot last year. 88% of Texas Republican primary voters supported it. Rep. Glenn Rogers ("R") says "that is not valid data." It's time for Republican primary voters to show him their votes matter. https://t.co/q1ypuOx3V1

The chair of the Texas House Democrats is throwing a tantrum over school choice. Yet he went to St. Luke's Catholic School. He sends both of his kids to a private school, Saint Mary's Hall. "School choice for me but not for thee!" Peak hypocrisy from @TMFtx. https://t.co/B7dZ4xpu2N
School Choice: If you support the idea that Black and brown children in Texas deserve to go the state’s best schools please call each of these legislators and let them know. All families should be able to choose the best schools for their kids.h/t @DeAngelisCorey @Dallas_Matters https://t.co/TZoB7rE47h
