"Controversy Surrounds Texas' School Voucher Debate"

Opponents of school vouchers rallied outside the Texas Capitol, expressing their concerns about diverting state funds to private schools instead of improving public education and teacher salaries. They argue that vouchers would defund public schools and hinder educators' ability to budget effectively. Proponents, on the other hand, believe that parents should have the choice to decide where their children receive education. Governor Greg Abbott has called for lawmakers to reconsider passing a statewide voucher program during the upcoming special session.
