It was a cool day.
Happy ISD named our gym after 1931 graduate Joe Fortenberry during our homecoming pep rally. Known as the FATHER of the SLAM DUNK when he "dunked" during the Olympic trials in Madison Square Garden. He was captain and gold medalist of the 1936 Olympic team played in Germany.

This is Abbott in an election year, pretending to care about public schools. Don't fall for it. He has been in office for over ten years and has done nothing but hurt our public schools. Vote him out. Vote for @GinaHinojosaTX
Better reading. Better math. Brighter futures. 📚 Governor Abbott is working to give Texas students the support they need to get on grade level and succeed, while giving parents the tools to reinforce learning at home.

Last year was a tough one for the Happy Cowboys but a large contingent of experienced players returning has head coach Stacy Perryman excited for the season. Coach talks about his team and the new look district and region for this year.

No governor in Texas history has driven more teachers away from the classroom than Greg Abbott.  That's a fact.

Suddenly Greg Abbott isn't speaking at private schools and he has a problem with data centers. How many days until the election?

Texans DID NOT VOTE FOR VOUCHERS! Those cowards would never put em on the ballot because they knew they were wildly unpopular. Now they want to double the amount. Nope. Vote. Abbott. Out. November is coming.
So we’re all clear: This budget request from @GregAbbott_TX more than doubles the $1 billion, taxpayer-funded VOUCHER next year.

Gov. Abbott is putting together a fake teacher group to advise him on education policy. I am an elementary school teacher, and I have been reaching out to him with messages since he started as Governor, and he never cared about anything I sent to him. He's a fake. Vote him out. Vote for @GinaHinojosaTX gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove… @GovHotWheels_TX

All of them ignored all of us and did what Abbott and Trump told ‘em to do. Texans should have been allowed to vote on this scam but they knew how wildly unpopular vouchers were and just shoved ‘em down our throats anyway. Thanks, Abbott. This will come back to haunt you in Nov.
Thanks, @AndyHopperTX, for ignoring all of the phone calls, letters, and emails that BEGGED you not to vote for vouchers.

Exactly this. Greg has become more unhinged than usual.
Trolling @jamestalarico isn't lowering my property taxes, car/auto insurance rates, fixing water shortages, funding public education. What in the hell is the republican platform nowadays other than unholy hatred and bitterness?

One of the many things I appreciated about @coach_perryman. He holds our boys to the Cowboy Standard and keeps them accountable—without a big production or fanfare.
This made me smile so I had to share… I’m doing a Follow Me customization for a 6-man program in West Texas — the Happy Cowboys. One of the pictures hc @coach_perryman sent included this sign that said: “You Ain’t No Cowboy.” So I texted him: “Coach… I’ve gotta know the story behind this sign.” His response was gold: “Haha that’s our discipline dice poster. If a player gets detention or any other infraction, he rolls two dice. We always have a freshman that asks how you get ‘free ice cream.’ But the real part is the accountability piece… if you mess up, the rest of the guys get to tell you all day — ‘you ain’t no cowboy.’” Coaches could all make more money selling copiers…but getting to build a culture like this is way more fun. 🤠 @HappySportsNet @fastnwide @BlueprintMP

Does “Record of Leadership” include trashing Texas public schools and the people that work there? I recall the awful things he spewed.

This right here. The response from Lt Dan will be, “but the public wanted it. They said they wanted school choice.” Dear readers, the public had no idea how shady that “choice” would be.
Replying to @DanPatrick
If they left this vote to the public “School Choice” would have failed miserably. This was setup to provide a handout to those parents already sending their kids to Christian private schools many which earn > $250k More than 85% of applicants already attend private school.

It seems like we warned people about this…
TX lawmakers claimed vouchers would help low‑income families but designed & implemented a system prioritizing the wealthy. Not an accident but a predictable result of a policy bought by billionaires & the politicians who serve them. @TexasAFT @jamestalarico @GinaHinojosaTX
