On what basis should CSCOPE receive political support from government officials to stay in Texas classrooms, and profit from Texas taxpayers?
CSCOPE has been exposed engaging in the worst educational malpractice possible.
With disregard for the rules in the State of Texas, CSCOPE brought curriculum into our children’s classrooms that:
- Calls the Boston tea Party a terrorist act,
- Makes kids create a communist/socialist flag,
- Christianity is called a cult, and treated as illegitimate,
- Communism is placed at the top of the ladder of big ideas of the last 2 centuries, captialism is at the bottom and socialism is in the middle,
- Free Enterprise is framed as a selfish system
- Islam is taught under the cover of “cultural understanding”
This is just a few things CSCOPE is guilty of. It is hard to imagine a higher level of educational malpractice or broken trust.
Action is currently being taken against CSCOPE, but so far “regulate them better” is the only message out there. Hopefully, the grassroots changes that soon.
What would it say to other bad actors trying to infiltrate our schools if mighty Texas can’t kick CSCOPE out of classrooms, and off of taxpayers bill?
The progress the grassroots has made against CSCOPE so far is great, but good things are never easy. The grassroots should stay involved to make sure the punishment fits the crime, and to make sure the punishment advertised is followed through on. Words guarantee very little these days.
Especially now, Texas needs to show that there is still a government somewhere that knows how to match a problem with the correct solution.
