Texas Progressive Curriculum Cscope has been in the news for weeks. The Texas Senate Education committee held a hearing on Cscope January 31st with Senator Patrick stating that if the Texas Education Service Centers Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC) who own Cscope were an airline it would have to be grounded. News stories have covered the fact that Cscope portrayed the Boston Tea Party as a Terrorist Act . There was the uncovering of a Cscope lesson calling for students to draw a New Communist Flag. The fact that TESCCC has teachers sign a non-disclosure statement stating they would not release lessons or say anything negative about Cscope would make anyone question the motive of this corporation.
There are still numerous unanswered questions as to the formation of TESCCC’s non profit within a state agency. Using Taxpayers money to form a business within a state agency. We have yest to uncover where all the money is. Over the last year the board of TESCCC has refused to release board minutes from the inception of Cscope or detailed info on their finances.
With all that said Manor ISD approved the purchase of Cscope at their board meeting Monday night Feb. 25th with a 7-0 vote. I stand amazed how the Superintendents across the State of Texas are so irresponsible that they would purchase a curriculum sight unseen. Why are they buying it in the first place? What is the draw? What are they promised? All I can say Superintendent Kevin Brackmeyer and Manor ISD school board how irresponsible You are. It appears that teaching children are not your major concern …. could it be indoctrination?
