School choice wins in Texas — and shows other states how it’s done

School choice was on the ballot in Texas last week — and school choice emerged victorious.

The educational-choice movement is a once-in-a-generation political earthquake in America, and politicians in other states should take notice.

The Texas House failed in November to pass Gov. Greg Abbott’s school-choice legislation.

Twenty-one Republicans joined all Democrats to kill a groundbreaking compromise bill that would have created Texas’ first private school-choice program, sent $7 billion extra to public schools and provided $4,000 raises for public-school teachers and support staff.
