Dallas senator gets salty with Richardson students during a school choice talk
Sen. Don Huffines is passionate about giving public school students the choice to attend private schools.
But he’s raising eyebrows because of the combative tone he used Monday in Austin during a discussion about education at Texas PTA Rally Day with a group of students from Richardson ISD.
During one exchange, a student pushed back against a proposal to give students a stipend to attend private schools. She said, as other critics contend, that the voucher would not be large enough to allow the student to go to many high-dollar schools in North Texas.
