The Revisionaries Page #7

who they don't agree with.

But that's how it works.

The winners...

The winners write history.

Is there further discussion

of the amendment?

Dr. Mcleroy.

I'd like to go to 6 E.

I would like to add:

"describe the causes

and key organizations

"and individuals

of the Conservative Resurgence

"of the 1980s and 1990s,

"including Phyllis Schlafly,

"the Contract with America,

"The Heritage Foundation,

The Moral Majority,

And the National

Rifle Association. "

Is there a second?

- Second.

I have an amendment for

B - Ronald Reagan

Describe Ronald Reagan's

and then insert:

"leadership in restoring

national confidence"

Economics 16 A,

I would like to strike the

words 'women' and 'minority'

Discuss the meaning and historical

significance of the mottoes:

'E PLURIBUS UNUM'

and 'In God we trust'.

Then like to go to

Government, 18A

"to evaluate the impact

of New Deal legislation

on the historical roles of

State and Federal governments"

21A we're talking about citizenship.

I would like to insert the word

'non violent'

before the word 'protesting'

and how later release of

the Verana papers (Venona?)

confirms the suspicions

of communist infiltration

in US government.

All those in favour of

Dr. McLeroy's amendment...

Seven

all those opposed...

one hand?

Dr McLeroy?

On 23D

I would like to delete 'hip-hop'

and insert 'country music'.

Is there a second?

OK discussion about the merits of

removing 'hip-hop' and replacing

it with 'country and western music'?

Mr Allen.

I just would like to know

why we would drop 'hip-hop'.

It's a music genre that

doesn't need to be in our TEKS

I guess I would be wanting to know

what do you actually think hip-hop is

before you delete it. You might be

deleting something you know nothing about.

Maybe we could have

'country and western' added in,

but leave the 'hip-hop'. I mean...

Is Mr. Craig offering an amendment?

Yes.

(... I guess we have to...)

I came about this

kind of accidentally,

Just started kind of watching it,

like most people, you know.

Not really aware of what it does.

And then

you start reading the paper,

and you think, good grief.

What's going on?

He's well-intentioned.

But maybe

he spends 5% of his time

on State Board Of Education stuff.

So he's gonna tell somebody

that has an undergraduate,

Masters, Doctorate,

and 20 years

of teaching experience

how to do their job

when they've done it

100% of their time.

I...

I just don't share that philosophy.

You know. I'm sure you know my

campaign treasurer Jinny Preston

Well I did see

some friendly faces back there.

Hi.

...under God, amen.

Amen.

What direction do you wanna go?

Do you wanna go to the... 'left',

or do you wanna go to the right?

We have taken on the far left

in the last several years

and we have won.

In science class we

ended up with standards

that support scientific

integrity in the classroom

and my opponent has said

he was a moderate Republican.

And I never seen a moderate

stand up to the far left on anything.

We are turning education in a vastly

different direction. So, thank you.

The goal of my campaign

is not about me.

It's not about me winning,

it's not about me losing.

It's about a parent

of two kids in public schools

who wants to make our public

schools the best the can be.

Our kids don't go to 'red'

schools or 'blue' schools.

They don't wear donkey pins

or elephant pins to class.

They go to their local school

and they want a good education.

And I wanna take politics out of the

State Board of Education. Thank you.

Well, thank you all for coming out.

Get all your friends to get out

to vote that's the main thing

We're pushing along.

I know, you all are awesome.

Thank you so much Jeff.

This is awesome... Great!

There's some people who'd argue

that we're not a Christian nation.

As far as not founded on

biblical principles.

These people are called

'Secular Humanists'.

And they say there is no truth.

They say there is no God.

And they say that we just evolved.

Which principles are in the

Decloration of Independence?

Christians say there's Truth, that

we're created in the image of God, and?

Creator.

There's a creator... there' a God.

So which principles are

our country founded on?

They're founded

on biblical principles. OK?

Y'know why

I'm teaching you this lesson?

I don't want the principles

that this country was founded

to die in the graves of our fathers.

I want you all to take up the

banner and carry it forward.

Our country's built on these principles

If we turn away from these principles,

will we keep the country we have?

No! And they're under attack,

which you'll see in a minute.

The Social Studies

Curriculum adoption

was even more political,

if that's possible,

than the science adoption.

And the separation

of church and state

is the crux of the battle.

And when Mavis Knight

introduced her amendment,

she didn't even use the words

'separation

of church and state'.

She used the words,

'that government can't promote

or denigrate any faith'.

And Cynthia Dunbar passionately

argued against this.

Examine the reasons

the founding fathers

protected religious freedom

in America

by barring government

from promoting or disfavoring

any particular religion

over all others.

Mavis Knight's amendment

was too broad and too amorphous.

And talking about barring,

which speaks of it

in a negative light.

When how the founding fathers

viewed it

was in terms of jurisdiction.

That the civil government

did not have the jurisdiction

to impede upon the ability

of religious exercise.

Free exercise came from

a sermon by William Cooper,

where he specifically

coined the phrase,

'as to the free exercise

Of his holy religion'.

This debate is too broad.

And one of the things

that we keep being hounded

by the other side

is that the conservatives

are trying to inject religion

into the TEKS

No, we're not.

But nor do we want

our religious history

to be tainted

and drawn from a viewpoint

that is not historically

accurate.

So I cannot support this motion.

This will be a recorded vote.

All those in favor of the amendment

of a new '1C' as proposed

by member Knight...

should vote - yes.

Opposed to the amendment

should vote - no.

I am stunned

that this Board rejected

teaching students

about the first amendment

to the constitution's

protections

for religious freedom

in this country

and that the government

is barred

from promoting or disfavoring

any religious perspective

over all others.

That's just shocking.

Particularly since they've been

proclaiming

American exceptionalism.

And this is one of our nation's

founding principles

that sets us apart.

Father I ask that you would forgive us

for taking prayer out of the schools

Father when that happened

Secular Humanism

slathered in and Father

it began to penetrate

every part of the curriculum

But today Lord we reach up
