School vouchers are a BAD idea and so is Abbott.

Vouchers can be used for children to attend religious schools. As a Christian, I can tell you that I do not want my tax money going to christian nationalist schools. We must protect "Christianity" and not make it part of our government. We study about the Dark Ages. That was when the church and the government became one.

In Texas, "our" governor, Abbott, is pushing for vouchers. Vouchers will NOT:
* provide transportation to private schools
* provide school breakfasts or lunches
* pay the entire cost of attending a private school

Vouchers will separate the wealthy children from children who are poor, slow learners and disabled. They will create a separate but unequal system.

The Heritage Foundation's (and Trump's) Project 2025 will destroy services for students with special needs and it will continue to undermine, until it destroys, public school services. Children with disabilities would be unserved as the IDEA is dismantled.

From Elzrccvi

"Rather, numerous studies show that there is no link between crime and immigration and that immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born U.S. citizens. Though all incidents of violence should be taken seriously, policymakers must refrain from blaming migrants as a group for increased crime when research suggests otherwise. Perpetuating this myth stands in the way of effective policies that make communities safer for everyone."

Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants.

One of my favorite Trump quotes from a very ignorant mind about wind turbines --

"“But they’re manufactured tremendous — if you’re into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything — right?”

"Many celebrities and pro golfers have played a round of golf with Donald Trump. When one of them was asked why he didn’t call Trump on his cheating, it was because he wanted his own story about Trump cheating at golf.

Trump doesn’t play golf, he pretends to play golf. He basically rides a cart around the course and writes in fake scores. If he hits a ball into the rough, he kicks the ball into the fairway and claims he found it there. If he hits a ball into the water, he’ll drop a ball and claim it was the original. He’ll pick up a ten foot putt and call it a gimme. He may as well sit in the clubhouse and fill out his card.

I like golf. If I hit a ball into the rough, I am going to enjoy each and every one of those three strokes it takes to get back to the fairway. When I get onto the green, I am going to play every one of those five putts it takes to get into the hole. Of course, I’ll give myself a 4 on that par 3, but I had fun hitting the ball."
