TX Land Commissioner, George P. Bush, Steps Over to Education to Rally for Private School Vouchers.

http://www.texastribune.org/2015/01/30/school-choice-supporters-gather-capitol/

State Sen. Donna Campbell and Land Commissioner George P. Bush were among the speakers who addressed a gathering of school choice supporters Friday just outside the Texas Capitol.

The event, organized as part of National School Choice Week and intended to support a variety of measures that would increase flexibility in the school system, comes amid a push to pass legislation that would direct state dollars to help parents to send their children to private schools.

Looks like George P. is following in his father Jeb's footsteps in selling BS privatization programs to Texans and the Texas Legislature. More funding moving away from public school? and people wonder how that could be as they voted as proud Republicans for another Bush who has assumed a position on the Education Committee of the Texas Legislature!

since there is not appropriate funding for education due to GOP controlled Texas government. School finance appeal is still in the courts. This may wake up voters.

Getting the word out about getting registered and re-registered to vote in voter suppression Texas, along with public school funding based on the Texas Constitution and Texas Medicaid Expansion tax money return, seems to me to be the perfect Southern Strategy.

Jeb isn't the first Bush to take up the education reformer mantle. When George W. Bush ran for Texas governor in 1994, he campaigned on school reform to highlight his "compassionate conservatism." And brother Neil Bush founded an educational software company in 1999 that ultimately raised $23 million from investors, including his parents.
