Texas Values Testifies At SBOE Meeting To Protect Texas Kids From Radical Sex-Ed Despite the coronavirus preventing an in-person meeting, the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) still held their quarterly meeting virtually this week. The Board members and the Texas Education Agency provided an update on the review and revision process of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for health and science. Texas Values is committed to ensuring that Texas’ abstinence focused approach remains protected in health standards, and our policy team was hard at work this week providing expert testimony via video to the board.
As you may recall, leftist activist groups like Texas Freedom Network and SIECUS have been heavily advocating for the SBOE to alter the current standards to promote radical sex education designed to indoctrinate children in the LGBT lifestyle, gender identity politics, and abortion - like we have seen in Austin ISD. Research has shown that these types of programs have failed students by increasing teen pregnancy, increasing STD/STIs, and increasing coerced sex, contrary to these activist groups’ claims. | |
