North Dallas Texas Democratic Women
06/24/2010 - 6:45pm - 8:30pm
Ms. Mavis Knight, member of the State Board of Education, will share her experiences and challenges in working with the SBOE and, most importantly, tell our membership what we can do to help change the composition of the State Board of Education, so that it will no longer be the punch line of late night comedians’ jokes, but will instead allow our State’s children to receive a quality, fact-based education. The nation’s attention was on the SBOE for three days this year as they debated the standards for Texas social studies textbooks. The Republican majority succeeded in giving gun rights the same importance as free speech rights, strengthening references to Christianity and emphasizing “the dangers of overregulation” in textbooks. The Republican majority also voted to de-emphasize Thomas Jefferson, FDR and the establishment clause to the Bill of Rights. Ms. Knight proposed an amendment to the proceedings which would have required Texas students to be taught the reasons the Founding Fathers “protected religious Freedom in America by barring governments from promoting or disfavoring any particular religion over all others.”
