I respect that you think you need to know what is happening with Texas education, but that is where it ends. You have no say on how we educate our children, because you aren't here and do not pay taxes here and did not vote for the SBOE. Each state, and even local government, must take care of their own people over the people elsewhere.
You are upset because you see us as dictating what to teach your children, but isn't that what you are trying to do to us? I think I just repeated myself from the first paragraph, but I think this is an important point.
We can debate this for weeks on this board, but it will not change anything. If you are really upset about it then maybe you should find out how to change things on your local level instead of trying to change another state.

Well, it's much bigger than just TX. I'm guessing by your reaction that you are in agreement with what the selection committee wants to do?
