The very necessity to establish Education Savings Accounts is because the governor and the commissioner have failed public education. Have they not as much as said so? The current commissioner is the longest serving commissioner of the Texas Education Agency. Going on 10 years.
It is time the voters get a voice in who administers this fundamental constitutionally required duty of Texas. Especially as it is the highest single property tax Texans pay!
Here is your Quick Guide to Texas Public Education players.

Sadly, some parents must live with whatever these bureaucrats derive. These parents are left with decisions as to whether they can allow their children to remain under such tutelage. A tutelage diametrically opposed to their faith, their patriotism and their principles. Such is the morass of Texas Public Education.
The issue for ALL Texans is now that our public education is in this condition, what course of action can parents take? Parents of school children are left to choose, avail themselves to the public education or look to alternatives in private schools or home schools. That is, those parents fortunate enough to have the luxury of a choice. But what about our fellow Texans in a poverty of choices? Their only option is the public school system regardless of the values, the instruction or even the self-worth that seems to dominate current public education instruction debates. This whole curricula under review is nothing but a dispiriting agenda stripping young minds of pride in their country, its founding and our special position in the world. What are the options for these parents?
It only gets worse for Texas. Because those who can afford it, find alternatives for their child’s education and leave. The public schools continue to see their enrollment decrease (Houston ISD is seeing just such deterioration). Leaving those relegated to the public education system at the behest of decisions made by bureaucrats. Bureaucrats who seemingly hold them in disdain. How else can one explain this completely dispiriting curriculum? Stripping pride, self-worth and values of self-initiative from a child. And these bureaucrats have the temerity to ask why are child suicides increasing?
The answer isn’t an indoctrination of some modern mores of child equalization and grotesque destruction of their innocence. Those wanting such instruction for their child are the ones who should be taking their children out of the public schools to expose their children to whatever behaviors they choose. That is not the instruction set desired by most parents. We know this because enrollment in public education in Texas is down or not keeping pace with the growth in population.
The answer is a solid foundation of language, mathematics, science, history that reveals the greatness of their country. That defines how their country has overcome evils and triumphed in glorious achievements for the world. Insure a healthy appreciation for the vast creative arts. The kind of foundation the rest of the world follows to indoctrinate their youth. That is foundation Texas had at one time. That is until this current administration of appointees has brought in all this extraneous unnecessary curricula of sexual indoctrination.
