Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says vouchers won't defund Texas high school football programs

In his latest effort to sell Texans on school vouchers, Gov. Greg Abbott is assuring them that "school choice" won't defund the state's damn-near-sacred high school football programs. However, Abbott's claim — fired off Monday in a tweet — follows days after the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), a right-wing think tank and staunch voucher proponent, posted an online video claiming otherwise. In its clip, TPPF argued vouchers would halt wasteful public school spending on things like a "new football stadium."
