The Texas House passed a bill this week that will direct the State Board of Education (SBOE) to develop K-12 social studies standards that include education on the “history, tactics, and consequences of communism.”
Senate Bill (SB) 24, authored by Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels), was laid out in the lower chamber by Rep. Jeff Leach (R-Plano), who explained that the “intent of this bill is to ensure a factual and comprehensive education on communist atrocities paired with a comparison to our great American principles and preventing ideological indoctrination through the use of well documented historical evidence.”
