The Texas PTA is furious at Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and his allies in the State Senate.

Just when it seemed that the legislature was going to increase funding for the state’s woefully underfunded public schools, the Senate insisted on attaching voucher legislation. The House had already defeated vouchers, but the Senate came back a second time and was defeated again. The Senate held the budget hostage.

Meanwhile due to the stubborn Dan Patrick, millions of children across the state will be deprived of the schools they need.

Way to go, Texas PTA!
