Texas parents deserve to know who is really in the driver seat when it comes to decisions that impact our kids who attend public schools. Spoiler alert: it’s increasingly NOT the elected leaders you would assume have the most say in curriculum and instruction.
An email from a Republican SBOE member highlighted questions over the relationship between the State Board of Education and Legislature. statesman.com/news/education…
@drbone4tx @RepBrandonGill This is the dumbest thing on the internet this week. And that’s a high bar. Another demonstrably false statement. 🙄
Revealing comment from lead Texas book banner Bonnie Wallace. She says her crusade goes beyond sexual content to attempt to remove from schools “content that can permanently change the way of thinking of a child.” In other words, she’s at war with the whole idea of education.
This is so stupid. Demonstrably false. Holy Bible listed in the Wylie ISD McMillan Junior High catalog.
The Quran is in the library. The Bible isn't. And when students ask why, the principal hides. This is happening in Texas.
@RepBrandonGill This is so stupid. Demonstrably false. Holy Bible listed in the Wylie ISD McMillan Junior High catalog.
@colorblindk1d @frankstrong @CaitlinPacific Public & school libraries are about access. Having access to literature shouldn’t be something just for the wealthy. It’s about education & literacy in schools. It’s about government censorship & control of ideas. But please, tell us more about the books you can buy on Amazon.
@frankstrong ALL OF THIS.
First, as pointed out yesterday: Bone was flat wrong in her initial post. She said Round Rock High School didn’t have a Bible in its catalog. It did. Her post has been shared almost 6000 times, and it’s based on a falsehood. She doesn’t care. x.com/frankstrong/st…
I bet this book mentions something about bearing false witness against your neighbor.
🧐🧐🧐
🚨SCANDAL in Round Rock ISD: High school libraries are stocking the Quran while the Holy Bible has been removed According to the district’s own online library catalog, the Bible is no longer available at Round Rock High School and Cedar Ridge High School — replaced by the Quran
THE TPPF INFLUENCED RE-WRITE OF THE TEXAS SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM IS A GRIFT, Y’ALL. And TPPF implied involvement with selecting literary works at the first meeting where the required reading list was discussed, too. 👎🏻 open.substack.com/pub/texassocia…
More background & context on the list originally proposed by TEA (before Hickman’s amended list): franklinstrong.substack.com/p/call-to-acti…
‼️ATTN TEXAS: The State Wide Reading List is Back. Act now: 🗣️ Testify in Austin- Tuesday, April 7 (register by 5PM Friday) 💻 Submit an informal comment. (by 5pm Saturday) 📧 Email the SBOE (before Tuesday) Links + details here: txftrp.org/urgent_the_sta…
@baylisswagner @nytimes @ExpressNews We’re so happy for you, and sad for Texas!!! Congrats Bayliss! We will miss you and the attention and care you give your stories.
What’s happening to New Braunfels ISD school libraries is NOT “normal.” Do not allow yourself to become desensitized to censorship. Take action to defend the freedom to read in your community, now! ksat.com/news/local/202…
Records show New Braunfels ISD pulling, restricting more books than it has publicly listed ksat.com/news/local/202…
Quick explainer on WHY the 1500 books that have disappeared from New Braunfels ISD shelves were banned, along with what you can do about it. tiktok.com/t/ZTkeYLkya/
TEXAS EDUCATION: New Braunfels ISD has banned more than 1,500 books since SB 13 went into effect in September. Authors banned or restricted include Barrack Obama, Mathew McConaughey and William Shakespeare. Full story below via @SAcurrent.
@fluker_lane @davenewworld_2 School libraries. But teachers are also prohibited from having them in classrooms, if they’re banned from the library.
