Yes we are still talking about it. Cscope is the Marxist curriculum that was found to be in 80% of Texas School Districts. Cscope came under heavy scrutiny in the 2013 Texas Legislative session, after finding it riddled with controversial material. The ESC’s made an agreement with Senator Dan Patrick to pull the Cscope lessons only to put them into the public domain and exploring any and every avenue possible to keep the lessons in the school district. ESC 13 has sold zip drives of Cscope lessons to school districts. See photo below of Gorman ISD check register:

The passage of SB 1406 called for putting the Cscope lessons under the purview of the State Board of Education and the passage of SB 1474 calling for new curriculum or new management systems to be put through a formal process of adoption before implementation. The ESC’s are not to happy with the legislative actions and hired a law firm Walsh, Anderson, Gallegos, Green and Trevino, PC, (paid with tax dollars, must be nice) and attorney Haley Turner 
put together the following power point. For me the power point only solidified the arrogance of the ESC directors and their determination in transforming Texas Schools and keeping Cscope within the Texas School System. (I thought Cscope was to be known as TEKS Resource System?)
Mason Moses, chief communications officer with ESC 13 sent me the following email below. Though I question some of his statements knowing this particular law firm is in bed with the ESC’s and the progressive Texas Education Industry.
I found the following video on ESC 13’s website confirming the ESC were involved in this. Ed Vera from ESC 13 introduces Haley Turner.
