Far from needed educational reform, the school vouchers plan supported by Gov. Abbott is just a scam to take money from taxpayers and give it to private schools and mainly wealthy parents who don’t need the extra help affording those institutions in the first place.
Only vouching for Austin's rich
Nate Williams, staff reporter • May 31, 2023

School vouchers have become one of the most hotly debated topics of the Texas 88th Legislative Session ever since Gov. Greg Abbott introduced the topic in his State of the...

TIGERS TALE OF THE TAPE: Clemson sprinter Wanya McCoy reacts to the Tigers’ victory in the fifth first-round heat of men’s 4x100 on Friday March 31 at Mike A. Myers Stadium. The finish shows the razor thin margin of competitive college track and field. Brenen Thompson of Texas ran the anchor leg for the host Longhorns and finished second to McCoy in a photo finish. Both relay teams finished with identical times of 39.80, but by winning the heat, McCoy and the Tigers advanced to Saturday’s final while the Longhorns landed in 13th place overall and out of the finals because only heat winners and the top four best times overall advance. Christopher Morales Williams ran the anchor leg for Georgia, which finished third in the heat and 15th overall at 39.89. McCoy had a good day at the relays on Friday. In the 100-meter dash prelims, he ran a personal best 10.04 in the 100-meter dash to advance to Saturday’s finals. The time would have been among the 10 fastest in Clemson history, but it didn’t count because the time was aided by a strong Texas wind. In Saturday’s final, the Clemson 4x100 relay team placed fourth in 38.87 behind winner LSU (38.53), second-place Iowa (38.70) and third-place Tennessee (38.85). In the 100-meter final, McCoy placed seventh (10.21), five one-hundredths of a second off the pace set by winner Isaiah Trousil of Northern Iowa (10.16).
