Gov. Greg Abbott caught in a lie during school voucher rally in East Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott has been caught in a lie about the state of Texas' education system, this time falsely claiming that a Dallas public school no longer allows students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The Republican governor's claim came during a pro-school voucher rally at the Athens Christian Preparatory Academy in East Texas. During the event, Abbott railed against "woke agendas" in Texas public schools — a familiar trope he often invokes to sell the merits of his school-voucher plan.
