An amendment filed Friday morning to remove school vouchers from the Texas House’s $7 billion education bill passed during the afternoon on a bipartisan 84-63 vote. The amendment’s approval means Gov. Greg Abbot’s ambition of bringing “school choice” to the Lone Star State has once again been crushed. House members debated the amendment introduced by Rep. John Raney, a Republican from College Station, for about three hours before taking a vote.
