A call to vote on November 2 for amending Section 3 of Article VII to let each district decide its own school funding. Proponents argue it ends unfair disparities between cities and rural areas, while opponents warn of potential consequences for statewide prosperity and education.
Annie Webb Blanton argues Texas communities should vote for educational amendments to raise local schools. She says good rural schools attract teachers, benefit future farmers, improve crop and livestock outcomes, and raise farm values while fostering educated minds as productive assets.
The piece argues the November ballot on the Texas School Amendment is the central issue, outweighing gubernatorial races and federal contests. It stresses public schools as democracy’s safeguard and warns that failure would slow Texas progress for years.
