Texas Republican Lawmakers Advance Communist Agenda 

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. July 30, 2019

Texas Democrats are euphoric over their taxpayer funded Pre-K victory. There has been a decades-long march toward government full day Pre-K and, during the 2019 session, a Republican led legislature handed it to Democrats on a silver platter. Through the massive education spending bill (HB 3), Pre-K (free daycare) for low income children, including illegal aliens, has now become the law of the land in Texas.

Why Are Texas Politicians Eager for School Mental Health Services?

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. June 4, 2019

Adapted from May 31 letter sent by American Citizens Matter to Governor Abbot, requesting veto of Senate Bill 11, House Bill 18, and House Bill 19

It is a known fact that pharmaceutical companies spend far more than any other industry to influence politicians.   Thus, the public should be concerned that so much emphasis by our Texas political leaders has been placed on setting up mental health services on school campuses and the partnering of Texas schools with private psychiatric hospitals to which students will be referred for inpatient care and medication.

Drugging Kids For Profit

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. March 27, 2019

Although Texas Governor Greg Abbott had promised voters property tax relief and school finance reform, he declared mental health to be an “emergency item” for the 2019 legislative session.

The Grand Daddy of them all is Senate Bill 10 authored by Senator Jane Nelson and signed onto by 31 Senators.

Digital Learning Expanded by Texas Lawmakers Despite Dangers

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. February 8, 2019

The 2019 Texas legislature is rushing headlong into expanding technology in K-12, forcing children into more “personalized learning,” a euphemism for replacing teachers with digital screens. Ignoring volumes of proof that digital learning has lowered academic achievement and created mental and psychological problems, states spend $5 billion each year of taxpayers’ money on technology.

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. January 7, 2019   World Net Daily

Whatever happened to childhood and the freedom to run, play, create, climb trees, drink out of garden hoses, play cowboys and Indians without being politically incorrect, take things apart to see how they work, and fantasize without being shamed by adults?

Texas Education Commission Shows Profound Ignorance About How Children Learn

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. February 13, 2019

Fifty-nine percent of Texas third graders cannot read but the Texas Commission on Public School Finance concludes the reason lies in a child’s lack of preparedness for kindergarten.  The 2018 report of the Commission claims, “testimony reflected that students who were kindergarten ready were more than three times more likely to meet the state standard for third-grade reading vs. those students who weren’t.”

Federalized School Choice? A High-Risk Choice

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. February 6, 2019

In his State of the Union speech, President Trump urged lawmakers to pass a school choice bill. Fortunately, it’s highly unlikely that any such legislation will be passed.   The $1 billion competitive grant for vouchers that Trump favors and the federal tax credit scholarship, considered a federal power grab by conservatives, lack Congressional support.

Globalist Billionaire Betsy DeVos Thinks Adopting European Education Policies Can ‘Help Catch Us Up’

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, Ph.D. December 20, 2018

U.S. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos toured European countries earlier in 2018 and expressed great admiration for their centralized education system and workforce development, particularly those in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the U.K. She believes adoption of their policies will “help catch us up” to students in other countries.
