Today In History

On Dec. 29, 1845, the U.S. Congress voted to annex the Republic of Texas after offering statehood nearly a year earlier. In June of 1845, the Texas Congress voted to accept the offer and craft a state constitution; a popular vote ratified both in the fall.

One Click Survey

Last week, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock asked Attorney General Ken Paxton for a legal opinion on whether schools affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations or the Communist Party of China are eligible to participate in Texas’ new school choice program. The Office of the Comptroller, not the state’s education agency, administers the program.

What do you think? Should such schools be allowed to participate in the state's school choice program?
