Greg Abbott (and more importantly, his billionaire backers) has wanted vouchers for years. The House blocked it last time, so he funded primary opponents against every R who opposed vouchers. It worked and that's why we're gonna give rich families an extra 10 grand starting soon.

He just gave Elon $17 million, that’s what we do in Texas!

These are all the current states with school vouchers, presented without comment. 😀

But there IS a certain type of lower-cost private school that vouchers would fund. That would be Catholic schools (who, not surprisingly, are all for this scheme): https://www.fox26houston.com/news/texas-school-choice-debate-hb3-march-11

This map is wrong as WI has a voucher system that's been robbing our public schools for years.
