Gov. Greg Abbott addresses the Texas House on the opening day of the 88th Legislative Session at the state Capitol in Austin on Jan. 10.
Abbott addressed that topic and a few others in an interview on the heels of his State of the State address Thursday.One of the emergency items that Abbott announced was “education freedom,” including education savings accounts for every parent. Those would allow the state to deposit taxpayer funds that parents could then use to help pay for sending their kids to schools outside the traditional public education system.
Buckley has been opposed to vouchers in the past, but advocates have expressed optimism that he is now open to the idea. Abbott also argued that Texas has led the nation with its 2021 law that bans large social media companies from blocking users’ posts based on their political viewpoints. He said he believes it is the only such law in the country “that’s been upheld by courts so far.”
“It may or may not even reach my desk, but as Speaker Phelan made clear, this is an issue that the attorney general is going to have to fully explain to both the House and the Senate,” Abbott said. “I’m also in the boat of having to learn more about this.”
