Hinojosa Slams STAAR Tests, Abbott's Space Push
Description
Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa criticizes the STAAR tests, accusing Governor Abbott of wasting millions on out-of-state vendors and favoring vouchers over students. The tests, which determine A-F grades for schools, have led to closures and state takeovers in Fort Worth and Houston, with San Antonio next in line. Despite promising to scrap STAAR, Abbott increased required tests from fifteen to fifty-one by the end of middle school. As the governors race heats up, register to vote by October fifth, early voting runs October nineteenth to thirtieth, and Election Day is November third.
