Texas' education board prepares for a once-in-a-decade rewrite of the state’s social studies curriculum, at a time when education politics is especially heated amid a push from conservative groups to reign in discussions on topics like racism and gender.
And last year Gov. Greg Abbott prohibited school districts and local governments from instituting mask mandates during COVID-19 surges, actions that teachers unions opposed.
Earlier this year, board members Tom Maynard, R-Florence, and Jay Johnson, R-Pampa, brought on right-wing scholar Stephen Balch as a content advisor. Balch has written that immigrants could “destroy traditional America” and has supported conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, describing it as a “literal coup.”
