Texas to Stop Teaching Capitalism?

Texas parents have a new fight on their hands: keeping ‘anti-racism’ out of their children’s personal finance classes.

Resisting national standards, federal pressure, and outside influences, Texas historically has exercised its Constitutional right to determine what Texas students will learn. The State Board of Education (SBOE) has had control over the content suitability of both instructional materials and open education resources. 

With the legislature’s passage of Senate Bill 6 in 2011, control over content was stripped from the SBOE. Open to the whims of unelected and unaccountable publishers heavily influenced by national teachers’ unions, academic content was fused with Common Core, social justice, LGBT, Critical Race Theory, and wokeism. 

Texas Brings the Bible Back into Schools

Leftists will scream that studying Scripture in public schools is unconstitutional, but is it really?

In the 1963 landmark decision in Abington School District v. Schempp, the U.S. Supreme Court banished Bible reading and prayer in public classrooms, ending a practice that had been commonplace since the nation’s founding. With the State Board of Education’s (SBOE) approval of a sweeping K-12 state required literature list, Texas returned the Bible to the classroom.

In recent years, America’s positive views about capitalism have declined and socialism have increased. The shift is especially pronounced among younger voters. A 2021 Gallup poll found that just 47% of American youth, aged 18 to 34, favored capitalism, down nearly 20 points from 10 years earlier. By 2025 support had plunged still further with only 39% favoring capitalism, according to the Harvard Youth Poll. 

July 4^th and America’s History of Secession

by Carole Hornsby Haynes       

The American flag waves proudly across America as we celebrate the July 4, 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence of the 13 American colonies from Great Britain. The document listed 27 reasons why the colonists declared independence. 

Those who know unrevised Southern history will see parallels in secession from England, secession of the South from the United States, and the current secession movement among red and blue states.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”  George Orwell 1984
