AFP-Texas to Kamala Harris: Your union friends don’t know what’s best for Texas students

Jul 25, 2024 by AFP

Houston, TX – Americans for Prosperity-Texas (AFP-TX) called out Vice President Kamala Harris today for her tone-deaf visit to Houston to keynote the national convention for the American Federation of Teachers – one of the nation’s largest teacher’s unions.

AFP-TX State Director, Genevieve Collins, gave the following statement: 

“The people of Texas made it clear that it wants parents in charge of their children’s education – not government. Vice President Harris’ Texas honeymoon is out of touch with Texas values, especially as Texas is about to enact the largest school choice program in American history. 

“AFP has been on the frontlines fighting for education freedom from the beginning, and we’re going to make sure that the state legislature passes Governor Greg Abbott’s plan for education savings accounts next year so that every family is empowered to choose schooling options that are best for their children. 

“There’s a reason why Californians are fleeing to Texas in droves. Harris’ failed California policies have no place in the Lone Star State.”
