Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott is calling for universal school choice through the use of education savings accounts, or ESAs.<\/p>\n

Democrats oppose school choice because their party is in bed with the teacher unions.<\/p>\n

Teacher unions don\u2019t want public schools to have any competition, which is just what is needed to make schools better. When government has a monopoly on education, schools have no incentive to improve.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Morning News<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

Gov. Abbott heats up school voucher debate, calling for ESAs \u2018for every child\u2019 in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gov. Greg Abbott said \u201cevery child in the state of Texas\u201d needs access to a voucher-like program that gives parents public dollars to spend on private school tuition or other educational expenses.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Annapolis Christian Academy in Corpus Christi on Tuesday night, Abbott said education savings accounts are what Texas needs to give families options. His remarks come as lawmakers push voucher-like bills this legislative session.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a school does fall short of excellence, when it strays too far from the fundamentals or simply cannot meet the unique needs of a particular child, parents should not be helpless,\u201d he said. \u201cThey should be able to choose the education option that is best for their child.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state has already piloted a form of such savings accounts through microgrants made available to select students with disabilities in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been so successful,\u201d Abbott said of the program. The state awarded $1,500 grants to more than 65,000 students, according to the Texas Education Agency. \u201cBut that program shouldn\u2019t be limited.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the good things that came out of the pandemic, was the increased scrutiny from parents on public schools.<\/p>\n

People who are unable to home school should be able to choose where to send their children.<\/p>\n
