Real Science or Personal Beliefs?
By Mary Vogas
It's time to get involved  so our children will be taught sound science principles in the schools in Texas!  The countdown is in its final moments!  The Texas State Board of Education will be meeting in Austin on Nov. 18 - 21, 2008.  They will be looking at the science curriculum standards for Texas public schools.  The last time changes were made in the  science standards was a decade ago.

State Education Board Member Ineligible

Secretary of State Asked To Declare Candidate Ineligible

   Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade has been asked to declare long-time State Board of Education member David Bradley ineligible to serve on the Board should he win reelection to the body November 4.

   A formal letter has been sent to Sec. Andrade by Houston attorney Chad Dunn.  In it, he details the fact that Bradley has not lived in the district he represents - as required by state law - since at least 2000.  (SBOE District 7 includes Galveston, Jefferson and Chambers Counties, a portion of Brazoria County, and a large portion of East and South Harris County.)

   Bradley has alienated even his fellow Republicans with his extremist views.  His Democratic challenger is Laura Ewing, a Friendswood educator who is running an aggressive campaign against the long-time incumbent who was first elected in 1996.

   Ewing -- who has been endorsed by the Houston Chronicle, Beaumont Enterprise and many others groups -- is currently airing a hard-hitting television ad that calls for Bradley to be "expelled" from the School Board.  The ad can be viewed at www.ewingfortexas.com.

Local Election Will Determine Future of Texas Education


by: Laura Ewing Campaign Netroots Outreach

Wed Oct 22, 2008 at 00:06 AM CDT

By Betsy Oney

Citizens understand that this year's presidential election is as critical as any in U. S.  history. But it is no exaggeration to say that there is one race that's every bit as critical to Texans. Southeast Texans will decide a race that will affect all of Texas and its future.

The State Board of Education is in a mess and is doing harm to Texas children. This elected body is under the control of a radical rogue faction. They recently passed a set of English Language Arts and Reading standards that is so flawed educators say it will damage Texas children.  And the Texas House Committee on Public Education has intervened.

Let's Put Our Students First

There is an extreme faction on our State Board of Education (SBOE) that has a specific agenda that is not in the best interest of our children's education.  Incumbent board member David Bradley is a member of this extreme faction.  He represents the seventh district on the SBOE, which includes Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, and portions of Harris counties.  The SBOE approves all public school curriculum and selects text books for our schools.
