Texas State Board of Education Meeting
The State Board of Education (SBOE) will be holding a meeting August 30th – September 2nd making decisions on the proposed changes to the Social Studies K-8 curriculum. It’s no secret that the public education system is under attack, and we MUST show up to this meeting to fight back. Here are some examples of the proposed changes. Please note what is included and what is missing. We MUST show up and stand up.
Included –
- Included –
- Cesar Chavez, spent six years with Saul Alinsky
- Dolores Huerta, Farm Workers socialist on YouTube preaching Anti-Americanism
- Missing –
- Lincoln
- Roosevelts
- Reagan
- Samuel Adams
- Paul Revere
- Current style –
- Each year a new subject introduction to teach subject mastery by the end of the year
- Proposed style –
- Begin K-8 each year on 4 tracts for each year
- Community
- Texas history
- US history
- World history
- Begin K-8 each year on 4 tracts for each year
- Included –
- Heavy emphasis on “white supremacy”
As you can only imagine, the desired outcome is chaos. Children need a solid foundation to build on and this travesty will certainly not encourage kids to want to learn social studies, much less reinforce that necessary foundation of fundamental history.
I strongly encourage you to make your voice heard for our future generations and will be happy to provide more research information. Please feel free to email me.
“EDUCATION, n. The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of
manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and
discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the
temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for
usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education
in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious
education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on
parents and guardians who neglect these duties.”
