I am writing to ask you to protect neighborhood schools and oppose private school vouchers in Texas. All Texas students deserve an education that prepares them to succeed, not just students at exclusive private schools. The Texas state constitution says our Legislature is responsible for funding our neighborhood public schools for students, not subsidizing tuition for wealthy families at exclusive private and religious schools that pick and choose who will enroll. As a concerned Texan, I ask you to vote down any voucher scheme that diverts tax dollars from neighborhood public schools. Public dollars should stay in public schools. Say no to vouchers that use tax dollars to fund the tuition at exclusive private schools.
