Texas State Board of Education member Thomas Ratliff does a great job in supplying blog material for those wanting to expose his liberal agenda. Ratliff sent the following email to Senator Dan Patrick and refers to the grassroot conservatives as “EXTREMIST”. If being a taxpayer/parent that loves Jesus and wants American Exceptionalism taught to Texas Students warrants the title of EXTREMIST, I will wear the title proudly.
Thomas Ratliff is from the Ratliff clan that has and is still working to tear apart Texas Education. Daddy Ratliff, former Lt. Gov Bill Ratliff, has spent his career working to destroy education for all Texas students and Thomas fits his shoes well. His brother,Bennett Ratliff serves in the Texas House and guess what committee Bennett sits on? Yes the “EDUCATION” committee. Who would have thunk it!
After I met with the Lt. Governor in January in regard to CSCOPE he promised me he would get with Senator Dan Patrick and have a hearing on CSCOPE. Since the hearing and all the negative publicity CSCOPE has received, Thomas Ratliff has gone off his rocker. Why? Does he profit from this?
Thomas is not a conservative nor is he a republican. He does not care about students in Texas. Thomas Ratliff cares about Thomas. Sad!

Subject: True Colors
Cyndi Lauper wrote a song called “True Colors” and it comes to mind when I watch Senator Patrick’s activities regarding CSCOPE.
First he films his “fireside chat” video talking about all of the right-wing issues he wants the Governor to add to the special session call. It seemed like he spent a disproportionate amount of time on CSCOPE.
Now, according to the post below, he’s having a telephone call with a group of extremists to update them on CSCOPE. It’s clear that Senator Patrick’s motives are political, not policy. It’s hard to imagine how he has time to be a state senator and chair the Education Committee when he’s so busy campaigning.
I’m still waiting for you to keep your word Senator. It’s time to have a POLICY debate on CSCOPE so everyone can see your true colors on this issue. If you don’t want to have a “mano y mano” debate, simply have an interim hearing of your committee, that way you can sit at the big desk and I’ll sit down with the people you are trying to rule with an iron fist.
If you’re interested, here’s the link to tonight’s call with Senator Patrick. If it doesn’t re-direct you, you may have to copy and paste it into your browser.
