NOTE: This release marks the beginning of State House's bi-weekly release schedule for the holidays! Join us every other week beginning in December through the month of January to stay up to date on the issues that matter most to Texans as we enter the election year!
Did you know that 90% of Texans are within a 30-minute drive of a career or technical college, a community college, or a certification program? Yet, there's a catch.
Mandy Drogin, the campaign director for Next Generation Texas at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, joins the conversation. She discusses the foundation's advocacy for school choice and education freedom, emphasizing the importance of parental rights.
The discussion touches on issues such as the influence of unions, profiteering within the education system, and the misalignment between increased funding and teacher pay. The conversation also covers the mismanagement of funds, extravagant spending on facilities, and the failure of the education system to adequately prepare students for life after graduation. Mandy emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues and advocating for school choice to provide better opportunities for students.
Frank and Mandy land on the current and projected shortages in crucial professions, such as plumbers, HVAC workers, welders, and electricians. The implications are not just economic; they extend to the very fabric of the workforce that has long been a cornerstone of Texas's identity.
TEXAS PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION
For three decades the Texas Public Policy Foundation has been a driving force behind Texas’ success: protecting individual liberty and securing the prosperity that characterizes the Lone Star State. More recently our national leadership in criminal justice reform and energy independence have brought acclaim.
Will you join with us to show Texas and America that freedom, not more government, brings economic prosperity for all?
