Texas Battles Over Civics Education

The battle for civics education has entered a new stage: “Action Civics” has made its way to the home front of Texas. This new initiative, originating from Illinois, encourages students to “take action” through protesting and lobbying.

Without proper guardrails, Action Civics quickly deviates to using students as political pawns on the front lines of the culture war.  While Action Civics presents itself as the “cure” for our civic illiteracy, it is in fact far worse than the disease.  

Now more than ever we must ensure that Texas passes strong civics legislation to ensure our Founding ideals are properly protected. As Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same…” Let this next generation not be the last to participate in the fight for freedom.

Child activists should never be taken seriously. They should be learning in school, not fighting "injustice" that they do not know about.

Forget Civics class and teach them Critical Thinking Skills. Political bias has NO PLACE in school... NONE!

Move me to Texas and I will volunteer to teach the children with the values of the parents in OUR communities we MUST take our schools back China is killing us inside out this is ALL by design. I'm retired & I homeschooled! I adore teaching hands-on proper education and I will gladly help I have a feeling I'm NOT alone We have the people in our communities who are in the field we are teaching who would LOVE to share their joy with the children We can just sit by and say "Someone do something!!!"

We are being held as economic American Refugees TRAPPED forced to stay in Blue States until we are taxed into POVERTY For example go to the U-Haul site choose a truck size, time & date, and city in LA & TX.
Use the same times & dates size truck & cities FROM Texas TO Los Angeles
THEN keep everything the same FROM Los Angeles TO Texas
You might need to sit down.... IT cost about $2, 000.00 MORE to get out of California WHY if we own something do we allow it to be taxed TWICE YEARLY!! anything that says "Tax" is a code for SCAM I own this its MINE why then am I forced to pay taxes or they...TAKE IT FROM ME my own land. OMG did I do a "Karen Rant" I blame the medication j/k j/k naw I see it clearly SMH Alex Jones was right..we're fked

Parents who remain apathetic are worse than the ones pushing this garbage.
