Randi Weingarten: "it makes people more alone and more isolated .. WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON OPENING SCHOOLS WERE SO IMPORTANT! Bring back the relationships .. bring people together! So that people can see that, you know, they're not just looking at their devices."

INBOX: A Texas school superintendent apparently met with district employees pressuring them to vote for the 16 Republicans who blocked school choice.

That sounds like illegal electioneering.

I just received the transcript AND audio of that meeting.

Buckle up. 👇🧵
My whistleblower says what follows is the transcribed audio from a Feb 7 staff meeting at Hargrave High School in @HuffmanISD.

Their superintendent, who pressured employees to vote for specific candidates, is Benny Soileau.

I will share the audio at the end of this thread. 🧵👇 Image
.@HuffmanISD Superintendent Benny Soileau: "if we don't support those 16 representatives in the upcoming election, we roll into the next session almost assured that we're going to face a universal voucher bill that will change the face of public education for years" Image

NEW: Texas school district director and principal emails all staff telling them to vote in the Republican primary.

The email links to a website saying who to vote FOR/AGAINST.

Telling employees how to vote with district resources is illegal.

EMAIL: "Here is a list of all candidates and whether or not the [sic] SUPPORT or OPPOSE Public School Education."

"Denton ISD will NOT be able to provide raises next year if legislation doesn't change!" Image

this guy ran on school choice but he lost to someone in the primary who is championing the issue. now he's against it. funny how that works. Image
He thinks it's some kind of gotcha to point out I said that you can educate the public in places other than government schools.

He somehow twisted that to say he thinks I want government running all schools.

Extremely disingenuous garbage.
