AUSTIN, Texas – Dozens of educators, including several from San Antonio, convened at the Texas Capitol on Monday to voice their opposition to school choice vouchers.
The rally, which drew participants from across the state, focused on advocating for higher teacher pay, improved working conditions and a firm stance against the proposed voucher system.
“We are aggressive in fighting for the rights for educators. Our rights for fair wages and reasonable working conditions have to be respected and forced in our districts and in our college campuses too,” said an organizer for the rally.
Protesters carried signs with messages such as “Texas can and must do better,” “we demand thriving public schools,” and “say no to vouchers.”
The school choice bill, currently making its way through the Texas Legislature, proposes to allocate up to $10,000 per family to facilitate the transfer of students to private schools.
Educators at the rally expressed concerns that such a measure could undermine public education funding and potentially worsen existing inequalities.
The protest highlighted educators’ call for legislative action to prioritize public school funding and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in Texas.

A federal judge awarded nearly $2 million in damages after determining that an FBI agent was negligent when he shot and killed a kidnapped Texas man during a botched rescue effort.
The mother and son of Ulises Valladares, 47, were awarded the money as part of a civil lawsuit filed in Houston federal court alleging the man was helpless while he was bound and blindfolded when FBI agent Gavin Lappe shot him in January 2018 as agents entered a home where he was being held captive.
Lappe told investigators he only fired his gun when he suspected that a kidnapper had grabbed his rifle after the agent broke a window to enter the home and did not know he was shooting Valladares.

But U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt in Houston found that Lappe “was negligent, even grossly negligent, in his response” during the rescue attempt, and ruled that the agent was the sole cause of Valladares’ death.
Hoyt said Lappe shot at a silhouette in the window without confirming who he was shooting at and that he fired his weapon despite no direct threat to him or another agent nearby.

Lappe was protected against the lawsuit through qualified immunity, which shields law enforcement from liability for wrongdoing. But the case was allowed to move forward against the federal government, which is not protected from liability.

Former Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo previously said Lappe’s explanation for shooting Valladares is not backed up by evidence reviewed by police investigators.
