To be honest, when you look at where Texas has been in on school rankings, there may not actually be much difference

Do they really care about truth? At least they can learn the Bible the evangelical cult way.

Like many of the teachers I work with, somebody didn’t download the new curriculum. 🤷‍♂️

One less spiral notebook to buy for your children. It's a win-win for christianity, because it saves you money. Success in the christofascist's god's eye is how much money you horde and how many children you have molested.

You've seen the textbooks from that state. Lots of those kids were already not learning history. Thanks for doing what you do. I live in the south and it's good to know I'm not the only one seeing this shit.

💯 If there's any books left! The low literacy rates will definitely help stop the learning. 50th in special education: apparently those kids don't deserve to learn. "Literacy is not about reading and writing, it's about privilege and power" -Kylene Beers

San Antonio Express-News-Mar 31, 2024 Worst education policy money can buy Texas adult literacy is shockingly low Better programs would boost the economy. By Dallas Morning_News_ Edjtorial 2:00 AM on Aug 12, 2024 CDT TexasMonthly The Texas Historical Commission Removed Books on Slavery From Plantation Gift Shops An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise. Steven Monaclli December 7,2023 Under Superintendent Sean Maika: San Antonio's North East ISD banned more books than any other Texas school district, report shows NEISD reviewed 431 books for appropriateness after a request from a far-right Texas lawmaker and ended up removing 119 of those.
