“Establishing policy and providing leadership for the Texas public school system are the responsibilities of the State Board of Education.” —Texas State Board of Education website
Extremists at the Wheel
A ultra-conservative Republicans on our Texas State Board of Education have rewritten the curriculum according to their own political agenda. Based on the advice of political extremists, they have muddled up the teaching of history, science, sex education ... even math! But there is hope. Democrat Judy Jennings, a curriculum specialist, is running to bring rational decision making back to the board. She'll take politics out of the classroom and make sure that teachers and experts are making sound curriculum decisions so our children are well prepared for the 21st Century economy.
