One of the main issues I have with Sen. Dan Patrick running for Lt. Governor is that as an elected official he has done more harm to Education in Texas than he has helped.
I thought Texas said NO to Common Core~ Not according to the Texas Education Service Centers who are funded with your tax dollars to serve Texas School Districts.
Every day there are more and more first hand accounts of parents and parent-teachers who are pulling their children out of the public school systems or thinking and planning on doing so in the near future.
I take endorsements very serious . I know that although I am not anyone special other than I am an opinionated Texas Mom with a website, I have taken on issues and now work within a very large network of amazing individuals. Because of that candidates have called asking for my endorsement so they can tap into that network.
I post this same blog post on this day every year as a day to say Thank you for my Mom and Dad for the gift of life! Today is my Birthday!
To no surprise Thomas Ratliff is at it again. After the WomenOnTheWall radio show today we got word that he is threatening to file an adjusted ethics charge against Alice Linahan. A Texas mom working to fight against CSCOPE and Common Core.
On The WomenOnTheWall.org show the non-profit organization Parents for Public Schools was mentioned and that two people we here in Texas are learning a lot about Former Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff (SBOE)/Microsoft Lobbyist Thomas Ratliff and State Rep. Bennett Ratliff’s dad and the now infamous Linda Darling Hammond seem to be connected .
So while the media follows the Creationist vs the Evolutionist debate the text book companies are aligning all text books with the Common Core philosophy of education.
