What to know: Almost one-dozen state lawmakers are calling on school districts statewide to end their affiliation with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), a far-left lobby group that advocates for progressive schemes using public money. As one state lawmaker puts it: “It’s bad enough that harmful woke ideology is being pushed on Texas students over the objection of their parents, but worse that local elected officials are forcing those same parents to fund it with their tax dollars.”

The TPPF take: School taxes are meant to be used for learning, not lobbying.

“Texans expect their school taxes to pay for classroom learning, not lobbying the legislature for woke ideological causes. It’s time for every school district statewide to reconsider spending money on leftwing legislative advocacy” says TPPF’s James Quintero.
