Tampa just dissolved its Racial Reconciliation Committee — not because it was radical, but because federal pressure made truth inconvenient. This is what happens when truth is treated like a liability. Equity should never be optional.

I believe Charlie Kirk was an authentic born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, and I will one day share heaven with him. I unequivocally denounce and deplore his unjustifiable murder in any context. I grieve that in this great nation, to many persons are willing to play

Any politics that denies summer meals for hungry kids and cuts Medicaid for poor people, while subsidizing rich private schools with the budget savings, has a broken moral compass. And is seriously lost. @JohnCornyn @tedcruz @GregAbbott_TX @realDonaldTrump @TexasGOP

The ERLC is the only entity in the history of the SBC to denounce police brutality. The ERLC made it clear that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would be a difficult vote for persons whose votes were driven by certain moral values. Therefore, it isn’t surprising to me to see the

In their 60s, this powerhouse couple walked the graduation stage—together. Husband with his PhD, wife with her EdD. Their daughter watched them earn doctorates side by side — a reminder of the beauty of lifelong learning and the magic of achieving greatness as a team. 🎓❤️

So disappointed and dismayed that our local public school district is once again in the news for this. Like we tell our kids…poor decisions have consequences. 😕

Gov @GregAbbott_TX is losing the voucher fight. He is rattled, desperate. He promised his billionaire donors it would pass. If it doesn’t, his money dries up. He is out. If it does, Texans will vote him out. Jesus says, "You will reap what you sow" #txlege House, stop him!
