If given the choice parents aren't going to send their kids to failing schools.

You idiot. You think any parent--ANY--in a Texas "failing school" can afford private schools, even with a voucher? And even if by some miracle they could, do you think these rich, mostly white religious private schools are going to accept them?
It's like you aren't retarded, you are a dumb teenager's vision of what a retarded person would be like.
More to the point--even a scratching-the-surface analysis of Abbott's rationale fails. If any schools are failing in Texas--which I dispute but that's another issue--how the hell is decreasing the amount of money going to them going to make them better??
Once the tax money decreases because of lower ADA, the only other option is to--you guessed it!--raise property taxes. Again.
Let's call it for what it is: Abbott's billionaire donors from west Texas and out of state, and also the private school lobbyists themselves bribed him to push this bill, AND HE DID. Texans, the vast majority of them(!) do not want vouchers.
I'm going to guess all these trade deals were done with John Barron.
