Texas teachers voice opposition to education-heavy special session

The day before the start of Texas’ special legislative session, teachers and educator groups flooded the south lawn of the state Capitol to stand against the governor’s schools agenda. Their message? They’ll be active during the special session and the 2018 Republican primaries — speaking their minds and casting their votes based on issues, not on political party.  “We’re distracted by party issues that don’t matter,” said Troy Reynolds, founder of Texans for Public Education, the grassroots Facebook-based activist group hosting the rally. “Any enemy of public education will only have our enmity and certainly not our votes.”Via Texas Tribune
