AUSTIN, Texas – Parents of school children across Texas now are gaining access to a previously secret public school curriculum, according to an announcement from a state lawmaker.
The CSCOPE program, an online offering that until now has prohibited, under penalty of law, teachers from sharing the lessons with parents, stirred up controversy because of its various lessons – some that were taken offline after the questions arose.
Among those issues were that the curriculum at one point taught the Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism and Christians were cannibals, and forced students to draw a socialist flag while imagining a new socialist country.
Teachers also would have been exposed to criminal penalties for sharing CSCOPE lesson content with parents, and educators were required to teach strictly from the CSCOPE lesson plan, without additions or changes.
But Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, whose Texas Senate Education Committee held a public hearing last week investigating CSCOPE, said there now have been “significant changes.”
The Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, which owns CSCOPE, agreed to the following changes, effectively immediately, he said.
Those include: •All future meetings of the TESCCC governing board, beginning with the February meeting, will be public with all the respective notice requirements being met. •The TESCCC will begin a joint review process of all CSCOPE lessons with the SBOE beginning ...........

A vice principal accidentally gave me the teachers edition of a "health education" curriculum...when I requested to see what they were teaching my children...
Basically it was a "how to be a homosexual" manual masqueraded as a personal hygiene course...
We home-schooled them...at that time it was illegal...
This would have been done without the knowledge of legislators. In other words, it would’ve been somehow sneaked into being without a vote on it. Whether it was administrative in nature, or whether it was buried in legislation in a way that legislators voted for a bill without realizing this was contained within it, or whatever, you can be sure that only LEFTIST legislators or administrators would’ve been in favor of doing the feds dirty work in Texas to indoctrinate children this way.
I don’t know how this came to be, but if you will please look at what has been done since the light of day shined on it, you will see the truth: Texas legislators as a whole did not vote for this knowing what it was, either that or did not vote period because the changes were administrative, or whatever.
Children and parents began to find out what was being pushed on them in the name of “education”; they reported it to their state reps, the news media got hold of it as well as it spread on the internet, and you can see by the reaction that this was NEVER a case of legislators knowingly voting for this under pressure from Washington or for any other reason.
Catholic parents please put your child in a Catholic school or provide home schooling. Anything else is negligence. I say this from experience.
Let’s see Governor of Texas Rick Perry explain himself on this one.
OK. I just looked it up. Evidently Texas has an elaborate top-down education system that needs some major rethinking. Very expensive, I should think, as well as counterproductive.

Liberal, thug, union teachers will one day pay the price.
Why the hell is curriculum secret from parents?
Governor Perry doesn’t have jurisdiction over the TEA.

This law overrides the First Amendment? I don’t think so, Tim.
Makes you wonder whatever happened to tar and feathering.

There was a great flap a few years back on FR about Rick Perry accepting financial help from the Saudi's. Just saying....
I want to know who was the legislators who agreed to the curriculum and passed the law hiding it from the parents.
Significant changes? Just sh!t-can the whole thing! What’s the purpose of keeping it?
They began teaching this stuff in the late 1970s in the inner city schools, but they introduced it there so as to not gain any notice. They didn't want any parents getting wise about it and they figured minority parents would not catch on.
As they got good at fooling the parents in the inner city schools they then expanded their effort to other public schools and even worked to get it into private and parochial schools. They were less successful there because parents who pay for their children's education are generally more observant. They snoop around too much.
This secret school curriculum is merely an attempt to push the final envelope, so to speak. They gotta grab our kids completely. Almost like they are running out of time.
What if they can successfully teach our children to find immorality intoxicating? Or, better yet, be so emotionally and psychologically adrift that they could go into an elementary school and shoot up a bunch of first graders after killing their mother?
Wouldn't that be the end of our American Republic as we know it?
That is the plan.
Just ask Bill Ayers.
