From Kathy Miller of The Texas Freedom Network:
"Moments ago the State Board of Education cast the final vote on new social studies standards, ending more than a year of political wrangling that invited derision and scorn from the entire educational world. I'm not going to take you through the litany of problems with this curriculum. You can read about those on our blog or in the hundreds of news stories that will appear in the media tomorrow. All of these issues, as serious as they are, are really symptoms of the larger problem -- allowing politicians with personal agendas to write our children's curriculum, rather than teachers and scholars."
Today's meeting began with an invocation by Board Member, Cynthia Dunbar. To get an idea of the kind of minds that made the indefensible decision to rewrite history for all a Texas public schools, and likely soon schools in most states, take a listen and weep: http://www.youtube.com/...
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Their truth is marching on.
