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 ...........

Nothing they do should be secret from parents. NOTHING.
How about “significant firings” or “significant arrests?”
Orwellian doublespeak!

Non-Muslims in conqueror territory are allowed religious freedom (for an additional tax).But in fact, many non-Muslims are killed in Islamic countries for exercising their faith. Almost one million Christians fled Iraq in the wake of the Iraq war because of the genocide there. Iran imprisons and executes Christians for sharing their faith.
Zakat (almsgiving): The duty to give away alms and to help the needy.But numerous publications have exposed the zakat as a means of laundering money to terrorist organizations, with charities being fronts.
Allah is the Almighty God Allah alone is the Creator, He alone deserves our devout love and worship.This came from a section under the heading, Who is Allah? Some expressed concern that such verbiage lacks impartiality...........
If it's corruption and lies creepig into the public school curriculom - islam has to be involved!
Catholic parents please put your child in a Catholic school or provide home schooling. Anything else is negligence. I say this from experience.
The taxpayers including the parents paid all the bills for the public schools. The State has absolutely no right to withhold any portion of the education for the children.
Whose idiots put up this “prohibited” crap? If it is the Federal Government that put the pressure on the TX legislators, steps will have to be taken!
Sending children to government schools is tantamount to child abuse! Government schools don’t “teach.” They indoctrinate. They feed our children propaganda. Children should be kept out of government “schools” so they aren’t exposed to the brainwashing techniques designed to make the dependent, malleable, obedient slaves to the State.
Why is Obama pushing lies about Christians and promoting islamic indoctrination??? If I were a Texan I would be really pi&&ed off!
That’s what should happen.
My three daughters are all homeschooling. I sent my kids to government schools, luckily, they came out ok. Until we say enough is enough, unfortunately the indoctrination will continue. I perish the thought these youngsters will rule us one day. 20 years from now will be a nightmare.
Nope, it was an act of economic civil disobedience.
However, the Sons of Liberty and other patriot groups did engage in acts of mob violence that weren't all that different from what we today call terrorism.
Christians were cannibals
Well, sort of. Those Christians who believe the wafer is transubstiantated into the body of Christ and that Christ was fully human are more or less by definition humans consuming human flesh. Which I think is what we call cannibalism.
This idiotic argument has been going on for close to 2000 years now and yet new morons keep popping up with it is if were a brand new idea.
If they are teaching that crapola in Texas just imagine what they are teaching here in Murland.
I have no idea what The Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative is, but I should think the state should cease doing business with them.
