LEANDER, Texas — We're taking a look at a social media back-and-forth between a local school district and Gov. Greg Abbott.
On Monday, Abbott posted on X, claiming that Leander ISD refused to distribute free copies of the Constitution to students. He said that the district said it was "against their policies of maintaining neutrality on political or religious issues," and linked to an article from The Epoch Times, a far-right media outlet.
"That's outrageous," the governor wrote. "EVERY school should teach the Constitution."
Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell reposted Abbott, saying he wasn't surprised.
However, Leander ISD also made a post on X, saying that the governor's claims weren't true.
"This information is not accurate," the district wrote. "Our middle school campuses have been accepting this donation since Friday in recognition of Celebrate Freedom Week."
