In Symbolic Move, Abbott Calls Special Session On Indigenous Peoples' Day
In 1492, Christopher Columbus inflicted violence, exploitation, and destruction on the Indigenous people of the Caribbean. This is why Governor Abbott's special session agenda is so shocking.

During the 2022 election, Greg Abbott raked in over $111 million. Even though his next term won’t be up until 2026, he’s already pulled in over $15 million. That equates to a lot of political favors. Despite the massive pushback and unpopularity of school vouchers, Abbott’s latest special session will focus on just that. He’ll likely also put “border security” on the agenda.
All year, Abbott has been touring the state and meeting with every private school and Christian organization to talk about what he deems “school choice.” But it’s a crusade to destroy public education. Even the majority of rural Republicans aren’t going along with his privatization scheme. This is why the legislature failed to pass all school privatization bills in the regular session.
Currently, the Governor does not have the support he needs to enact his radical school voucher program, but that could easily change. Remember, Republicans operate by how much money they get, not by doing what’s best for their constituents. With Abbott’s war chest continuous growth, he’ll have plenty of money this coming election to either make or break Republicans in the legislature.
