Don’t let a terrorist group and its friends indoctrinate our kids
On April 7th, the Texas State Board of Education will hold a public hearing and vote concerning the character and content of social studies education in Texan public schools for Kindergarten through 12th grade. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) – a Muslim Brotherhood front-group designated as a terrorist organization by both Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – hopes to compel the Board to replace a pro-America curriculum framework the Board adopted last year with what can be described as the “CAIR Curriculum.”
Like all totalitarians, CAIR understands that if it can dictate what our kids learn, it will be able over time to dominate our country. So, this jihadist organization is working with leftist organizations, teachers unions and activists to rewrite the lessons about the history of America and Texas to exclude vital information about, for instance, our presidents, founding documents and the greatness of our country.
Instead, CAIR seeks to extol fictitious Islamic contributions to the origins and evolution of our country, promote cultural Marxist narratives and enthuse about globalist causes and values. To cite but one example, CAIR asserts that the building known as the Alamo, the site of an epic battle for Texas independence from Mexico, was actually inspired by and a tribute to Islamic architecture.
Think of this fight as a Battle of the Alamo 2.0. After all, it is often said that, as Texas goes, so goes the nation. And in this case, that is literally true. Since the numbers of textbooks sold for Texan students is so large, publishers make their curriculum the standard offering for other school systems, as well.
Hence, if the CAIR-backed amendments are allowed to fundamentally transform the standards meant to implement the curriculum framework the State Board of Education adopted last year – which, among other things, reveres our founders, Constitution and freedoms, it is hard to overstate the corrosive effect that will be felt on all of America’s coming generations and their country.
If you support having our nation accurately and, therefore, favorably depicted in our children’s K-12 social studies curriculum, please join us in sending the letter linked here to the three Republican members of the Texas State Board of Education deemed most susceptible to CAIR’s intimidation and pressure and that of their hard-left teachers union and other allies: Pam Little, Evelyn Brooks and Will Hickman. (Copies will be sent to the other Board members for their information, as well.)
Thank you for your help in this Battle of the Alamo 2.0.!
