“Many children today aren’t educated like you and I were,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “We will not use your taxpayer dollars to teach our kids to hate the United States of America. We are in Military City USA.”
Gov. Greg Abbott speaks about his effort to push school choice legislation at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School on Thursday.Hundreds of parents, students and community members packed into the St. Mary Magdalen School gym on a warm Thursday evening to rally in support of school choice with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is on a tour of the state.
“He made several references to parental responsibility … to school choice,” Abbott said of the archbishop’s comments. “What parental responsibility means is that mom and dad are in charge.” “Many children today aren’t educated like you and I were,” he said. “We will not use your taxpayer dollars to teach our kids to hate the United States of America. We are in Military City USA.”
“I believe in public education,” she said. “I’d rather my money go to Neiman Marcus than to private school.”Norma Rodriguez and her daughter, Brigid, who showed up early to the event Thursday, didn’t know that the governor would be at the event until last night, she said, adding that she was excited to hear what he had to say.
“We estimate that 90% of our schools will participate and we have the capacity to add around 20,000 students in the Catholic schools in Texas,” she said. “There’s 100,000 open seats in private schools throughout Texas today.”
