What would our Commander in Chief Obama and Thomas Ratliff have in common? They are elected representatives that will stop at nothing to accomplish their agenda, for example using “ethics” in intimidating and silence voters from speaking out against their progressive policies or agenda.
Texas State Board of Education member Robert Thomas Ratliff is the son of former Texas Lt Governor Bill Ratliff and brother of Texas Rep. Bennett Ratliff. All three have involved themselves within the Texas education establishment in some shape or form. It appears their goal is that of implementing a progressive ideology within the Texas School System and a financial one.
Activist across the State have been fighting the progressive/Marxist Texas curriculum CSCOPE for over a year. Who would have thought one of elected officials would be more concerned with his Lobbying agenda than representing those that elected him. Yes you heard it right! Thomas Ratliff is a paid lobbyist for Microsoft and with the implementation of CSCOPE/Project Based Learning his lobbying job pays off. Despite the fact that is illegal for him to be a paid lobbyist and sit on the SBOE, Thomas has no respect for the rule of Law but seems obsessed in verifying that others abide by it, especially one Texas mom.
In my battle of fighting CSCOPE moms across the state joined in to help educate others. One of those moms was Alice Linahan. I met Alice at an online/blogging conference. Alice is also very politically active and after realizing what was transpiring in Texas school districts across the state she became involved in exposing it so parents and taxpayers would be informed.
Ratliff obviously had his hand in the cookie jar when it came to CSCOPE. He has filed an ethic charge against Alice Linahan claiming she is a lobbyist that has not filed as such. Here is a copy of his ethics charge. ETHIC CHARGE AGAINST ALICE LINAHAN BY THOMAS RATLIFF. WHAT A Texas BULLY!
