Gov. Greg Abbott speaks at a “Parental Empowerment Night” in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Jan. 31, 2023.George W. Bush couldn’t pass a private school voucher program as governor of Texas, and neither could Rick Perry.
That has Abbott using the bully pulpit of the governor's office to put more pressure on the Legislature on the issue than at any point during his eight years as governor. “I need you to stand up with me and fight with me all the way to get this done for the kids of the great state of Texas,” Abbott said during his stop in Temple before hundreds of parents and students at a private school.Advocating for school vouchers, Gov. Abbott said public schools will be ‘fully funded’. They won’t.
Thousand of members of the Texas PTA held a bipartisan rally outside his office on the South Lawn of the Texas Capitol to demand, among other things, that the Legislature oppose private school voucher programs.
