Good morning, 

What should happen to public schools that keep porn in their libraries, promote “critical race theory,” or otherwise engage in leftist indoctrination? That’s the subject of today’s One Click Survey.

Here is today's Texas Minute for Tuesday, March 22, 2022.

School To Kids: Keep ‘Pride Week’ Secret From Parents

• Austin school officials are dedicating an entire week to promoting hazardous sexual behaviors and gender confusion to children—and instructing them to keep quiet about some of the activities. Jacob Asmussen has the full story.
   
• “Respect privacy: ‘What we say in this room stays in this room,’” reads one proposed “PRIDE week” lesson plan in Austin Independent School District. The activity is a teacher-led “community circles” conversation with kids about LGBT behaviors, and is designed for pre-k through second graders, children as young as four.
     
• Meanwhile, Austin ISD is failing – according to test results – to teach math and reading to children.
   
• When a teacher or school district tells kids to “keep a secret” about lessons and curriculum from their parents, that teacher and school district are grooming the children for sexual abuse. Always. That is what sexual predators do. Always.

Exposing Leftist Agenda In Public Schools

• A new documentary about education in America exposes a not-so-hidden agenda in public schools: indoctrinating kids with leftist ideologies. Erin Anderson reviews “Whose Children Are They?” features teachers, parents, and education advocates describing how public schools are failing kids by focusing on left-wing social issues instead of academics.
      
• Similar to “The Mind Polluters,” this new film shows shocking examples of graphic sex education lessons pushed on kids as young as elementary school ages.

Runoff Candidates On Democrat Committee Chairs

• Democrat committee chairs have had a pattern of killing conservative legislation in Texas. Now, the movement to stop the practice is growing. Earlier this month, 81 percent of infuriated Republican voters supported GOP Ballot Proposition 6: “The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature should end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.”
      
• Texas Scorecard contacted all of the Republican candidates running for the Legislature in runoff elections to ask where they stood on Democrats being placed in leadership positions and whether the process should continue.
     
• Check out the candidates responses… or lack thereof.

Texas Rangers Investigate Campaign Vandalism

• Accusations that a campaign is stealing or vandalizing the signs of another are nothing new, and rarely rise to the level of a criminal investigation. Yet that is precisely what’s happened in the open-seat House District 61 GOP runoff in Collin County. Brandon Waltens reports Frederick Frazier is accused of vandalizing the signs of his opponent, Paul Chabot.
      
• Frazier is a Dallas police officer and former member of the McKinney City Council. Chabot is a former military intelligence officer and retired deputy sheriff.
     
• According to a Texas lawmaker who has been briefed on the matter, police reports were filed months ago when some of Chabot’s signs were vandalized. In a highly unusual move, the Collin County district attorney’s office referred the case to the Texas Rangers, the state’s investigative police, citing a “conflict of interest.”
   
• A spokesman for the Rangers tells Texas Scorecard the agency completed an investigation and returned findings back to the Collin prosecutors. The Collin County DA’s office told Texas Scorecard they do not comment publicly on pending legal matters.

Silencing Satire

• Twitter has silenced The Babylon Bee for satirically challenging the “transgender” agenda, but they haven’t silenced Vladimir “War Crimes” Putin, the genocidal thugs running China, or even the PLO terrorists. 
        

• There is a lesson in there somewhere for all of us…

       
• For now, you can find me on the leftist social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Sometimes I post in the virtual conservative ghettos of Gab (almost never), Parler (if I remember), and GETTR (occasionally). I’m also now on the new-but-very-buggy Truth Social as mqsullivan.
     
• But you can always find me at Texas Scorecard!

Rinaldi Seeks Full Term As GOP Chairman

• Fulfilling a promise made when he campaigned last year to fill an unexpired term, Republican Party of Texas Chairman Matt Rinaldi announced yesterday he will be running for re-election at the party’s convention this June. Brandon Waltens has the details.
     
• “I’m proud of the work we have done over the last eight months building momentum for the 2022 election and growing our party around a platform of border security, fiscal responsibility, healthcare freedom, law and order, and parental rights,” said Rinaldi. “I look forward to continuing that work in my next term. Republicans I talk to are excited, energized, and eager to defeat liberal Democrats in November and secure more conservative victories in the next legislative session.”
      
• Rinaldi was elected to the position in July of 2021 by members of the SREC to fill the vacancy left by Allen West, who resigned to mount an unsuccessful campaign for governor.
     
• No candidate has yet emerged to oppose Rinaldi when Texas Republicans meet for the biennial convention June 16-18 in Houston.

ONE CLICK SURVEY

Public schools around the state are resisting calls to remove books containing graphic sexual content (including comic books) and other pornographic material. Other schools are doubling down on “critical race theory” and “social and emotional learning” as part of their indoctrination programs.

What should happen to these schools?
