its almost funny how these legislators are prime examples of why #HB3979 cannot become law! they are literally unable to read the bills they author, engage in critical thought, and derive logical conclusions of their impact. like, it would be so funny if it wasn’t terrifying.

Spoke out against #HB3979 this evening, a bill that would prevent teachers from providing students with a comprehensive civic education. We should support teachers as they develop thoughtful, civically engaged students instead of restricting their ability to do their job.

Fiscal note for #HB3979 (Texas' anti-critical race theory bill) finds it comes with a ~$15M annual price tag, starting in 2023, for new civics training. Districts would also shoulder extra costs because of a prohibition on accepting private $ for some training/course development

Texas rep struggles to agree to amendment on the front mic allowing schools to teach the role of white supremacy in our country’s founding and condemning it. If you’re not mad you’re not paying attention. If you’re outside of Texas we need you watching too. #txlege #HB3979

WATCH: Rep. @jamestalarico grills Republican Steve Toth about his terrible civics bill. Talarico: “Would you be open to an amendment requiring that we teach the history of white supremacy and teach students that it’s morally wrong?” Toth: “No, I’m not.” #txlege #HB3979

Here’s a radical thought: why don’t we TRUST teachers fo act like professionals and take their roles as influencers of our children seriously? No teacher that I know has ever tried to push their personal beliefs on a student. We want them to develop their own beliefs. #HB3979

This is the type of censorship that we feared would happen when #HB3979/#SB3 were passed. This is another coordinated attack by the right to whitewash history and not put students at the center of their learning #TeachtheTruth #txlege (1/2)

Rep. Matt Krause, Republican state lawmaker and state attorney general candidate, has launched an investigation into Texas school districts over the type of books they have, particularly if they pertain to race or sexuality. bit.ly/3EhJyCF
