Tick, tick, tick, the clock is counting down. The 85th Texas Legislature has 13 working days remaining, in that time HB 2159 will have to be voted on by the House, make it through the Senate Education Committee and then be voted on by the full Senate. After clearing both the House and Senate the bill will make it to the governor’s desk. Texas children need your tweets and emails ASAP. We must work together to make the Texas legislature aware of our wishes. If you REALLY want to end lunch shaming in Texas schools then please send an email and a tweet each day until the legislature has voted on this bill. Tell the Texas legislature to vote YES on HB 2159, let’s end lunch shaming in Texas, NOW!
