On February 12, 2010, the Austin Chronicle news featured an article "Reclaiming Education: Hoping for Sanity at the SBOE " by Lee Nicols.” For the last few years there has been a battle over the Texas Education curriculum standards. The Democrats and Republicans have battled over particulars such as English language, literature and social studies. They have also battled over trivial issues such as evolution vs. creation which has made the State Board of Education somewhat of a force.
On The State Board, there are 15 members consisting of three moderate Republicans five Democrats, seven members of religious and political fundamentalists.
There are four Democrats and three Republicans running for seats on the State Board of Education. All clearly have their own individual views of educational process.
This article is worth reading because it informs the people on the topics of which the candidates believe are important in curriculum standards. Perhaps people are able to choose a candidate according to their own thought or beliefs on education.
