Greg Abbott's Policy Advisor Supports Abolishing Direct Funding For Public Schools

[JoethePleb]

According to Greg Abbott's spokesman Matt Hirsch, "Education is a major issue for this campaign," yet there is still a complete absence of the word "education" (let alone "public education&quot in the "Issues" section of his website. Now as campaign season gears up concerned Texans are forced to deduce his positions via his advisors and donors.

Today Abbott held an online "Discussion With Merrill Matthews" an author of "A Capitalist Manifesto" who in his free-market version of the Communist Manifesto called for the, "Abolition of direct funding for school systems."
