Good morning,

Your local property taxes are, indirectly, being used by the National School Board Association to attack parents and promote leftist indoctrination in our schools. Today’s One Click Survey asks if Texas school board members should be pressured to stop paying dues into the Texas Association of School Boards.

Here is today's Texas Minute.
