REVEALED: TX Rep Travis Clardy (R) voted against school choice, is funded by teacher's unions, sends his kids to private school

Representative Clardy of the Texas House of Representatives, is the living definition of a hypocrite. He voted against school choice in Texas and claimed there was no wokeness in his district. Turns out he sends his kids to private school, is funded by teacher’s unions, and his district’s schools are filled with wokeness. 

We decided to do a deep dive into the schools in his district and we found very disturbing content so we reached out to Rep. Clardy for comment and his thoughts on forcing children to attend failing public schools where they are subjected to this material. His response was bizarre on many levels. We will detail it all below so get ready for a wild ride!

Our email to Rep. Clardy

Response from Rep. Clardy

Let’s go through this absolutely insane response. Firstly, why did he respond to us from a different email address than the one we originally emailed?

We sent our email here:

We received an email response from Rep Clardy from the address below:   

At the end of his reply he pleaded with us to only contact him using his campaign email.  He stated, “Please use this account to contact me in the future as I use my state account for official state business and help with my constituents.”  This is super sus. Rep. Clardy, we asked you about school choice and sexually explicit books, 2 things you voted on for the state of Texas. That sounds like “official state business” to us! So why did he move the conversation to his campaign account? Could it be to avoid open records requests? Red flags all around so far! Very shady. But don’t worry, we responded back to his official state email and included a screenshot of his reply. It’s now SEALED in the public record forever.

Rep. Clardy went on to state “I reject the idea that woke indoctrination is happening in my district.” He wrote this to us after we sent him hard evidence of pornographic books available to students in his district.

One of the books a school in his district offer to minors is “Flamer” which contains graphic depictions of sex and promotes viewing porn and masturbation.

So now we have another question.  Why is he denying there is woke indoctrination after being shown hard evidence that there is? Well a quick look at his campaign donations answers this.

In under 10 minutes of searching we found that some of his donors promote public education, do not want school choice, and have given him thousands of dollars to possibly keep it that way.

The Charles Butt Public Education PAC has donated a substantial amount of money to his campaign and their goal is to “pursue a public education policy and advocacy mission.”

The Association of Texas Professional Educators has donated over $5,000 to his campaign and they adamantly oppose school choice. They don’t even want you to get a voucher, a tax credit, or a scholarship. On their page of ‘2023 Legislative Priorities’ they make that abundantly clear.

Finally, the Texas State Teachers Association, a branch of the NEA which is super woke and fought to keep schools closed during Covid, has also donated over $2,000 to Rep. Travis Clardy.

If you add all of this up, Rep. Clardy has received over $25,000 from establishments who don’t want your child to have school choice and have the option to escape the woke indoctrination of public schools. Public schools are no longer what they once were. They are now a breeding ground for woke ideologies. There is no logical reason to vote against parents from choosing and having control over where their child goes to school. But there does seem to be 25,000 reasons to vote that way!
