VETO EACH ONE OF THESE BAD BILLS:
HB 2103
HB 5
HB 866
HB 2836
SB 2
HB 1675
HB 2824
HB 2103 – Allows the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Texas Workforce Commission to share our children’s personal data with education research centers in Texas and across the nation  – the data goes back 20 years.
HB 5 – Exceptionally bad bill which must be stopped for the sake of our children. This bill will allow the Marxists to implement Type II teaching. It decimates the “measuring stick” (STAAR/EOC’s) so that parents will not know whether their children have been taught Type #1 or Type #2 curriculum (such as CSCOPE, Common Core Standards, Safari Montage, TASA iCLOUD) until it is too late
HB 866 – Companion to HB 5 to destroy the measuring stick – From Grades 3 – 8, students are only tested twice in Writing on an objective instrument (STAAR), once in Social Studies, two times in Science, three times in Math, and three times in Reading.
HB 2836 – Takes away authority over the curriculum standards (TEKS) from our elected Texas State Board of Education members. If passed this bill allow the Marxists to control what our children are taught.
SB 2 – Takes away authority over the charter school process from elected members of the Texas State Board of Education members – gives the authority to an unelected and appointed Commissioner of Education even though Michael Williams has not asked for that authority
HB 1675 – Delays Sunset Review of the Education Service Centers to Sept. 1, 2019. Very bad move. The ESCs must be put out of business. It is because of the ESCs that we have CSCOPE in our schools.
HB 2824 – Lets a consortium of so-called “high performing” (mostly mediocre) school districts off the hook in terms of testing and accountability, thus freeing them up to do teaching and learning to whatever goals (E.G. CSCOPE, I-CLOUD or Obama’s Common Core Standards) and standards they choose.

5.27.13 – FROM PEGGY VENABLE, AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY

Americans for Propserity-Texas are calling on our activists to ask Governor Rick Perry to veto House Bill 1675.

We believe the Regional Education Service Centers (ESCs) should be reviewed on schedule so that their activities can finally be subjected to public oversight. The Regional Education Service Centers were originally set for Sunset Review in 2015 and that schedule should be maintained.

Education reform has been an enormous issue this session and some of that has revolved around the controversial CSCOPE curriculum created by the ESCs.  The ESCs created a non-profit 501c3 shell corporation (TESCCC – the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative), which had no employees, address, phone number, or funding.  It appears the TESCCC filed no 990s. This shell corporation was used to shield ESCs from open meetings and open records. The lesson plans were provided with no opportunity for parental review, as is required by law.

While the ESCs have agreed to end the CSCOPE curriculum, they will continue CSCOPE management tools and other aspects, and perhaps even continue TESCCC. ESCs have betrayed the public trust and should be reviewed now, not in 2019.

We appreciate the leadership that the Governor has shown this session and trust that he will continue to demonstrate that common-sense leadership by vetoing H.B. 1675.

AFP-Texas fully supports the veto of HB 1675.

Please ask the Governor to veto HB 1675.
