Texas SB 2 (School Voucher) could effectively dismantle the state required retirement fund in less than 12 years if it passes. We don't pay into social security, we pay into the Teacher Retirement of Texas. 1000’s of school employees could loose thier retirement.

March 7, 1965 it was a crisp 41 degrees as John Lewis marched peacefully, with head high and shoulders back, across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL. Knowing what was waiting on the other side John Lewis did what was right. I hope, if tested, I have this kind of bravery.
