‘Woke’ Takeover The elected Texas State Board of Education will meet the week of Aug. 30 – Sept. 2, to discuss the current state of the revision of the Social Studies drafts for K-12 students in Texas Public schools. The recent and available version of the standards has several problems that we have addressed in emails and testimony to the board. - Many references to religion have been removed including the national motto “In God We Trust” and Moses.
- On the other hand, LGBT references are still in, and many added! Thankfully, the board was able to stop the CRT laden ethnic studies courses from the unelected Workgroup E.
There have been no promises made that any of the problems Texas Values addressed at the Aug. 1 board meeting will be addressed by the workgroups. Public testimony on the Social Studies standards will occur Tues., Aug. 30. You can register to testify, by clicking here. Registration for speaking at the meeting begins at 8 a.m. on Thur., Aug. 25, and closes Fri., Aug. 26 at 5 p.m. You can email the entire SBOE by sending an email to: [email protected]. You can find your SBOE member here. Read more here. |
