One would never believe an attempt at doing a good deed of tutoring children would lead you to discover a Marxist/Communist takeover of Texas Schools (public, charter and private). Well that is what happened to retired Science Author Janice VanCleave. VanCleave who began to question what was going on when refused by her local school district of Marlin, Texas and the Texas Education Service Center XII in Waco access to lessons to help tutor the children who had no textbooks. The lessons were locked behind a password protected online curriculum called Cscope and lessons were barred from being released or viewed.
After further research it was discovered the Marxist philosophy behind Cscope and numerous lessons with a bias toward Communism pro Islam content. The takeover I would say has become one of the biggest education scandals in Texas History due to the number of school districts involved. Is your local school district using Cscope? Check HERE.
VanCleave (mom) and I have been working overtime this past year exposing the Cscope Corruption in our Texas Schools. I guess you can say we have received our gold crown in this fight. Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC) who owns Cscope has made a powerpoint now listing three of their critics, two being mom and I, Janice VanCleave and Ginger Russell along with Ann Kunkel. I may be wrong but do Govt Agencies usually come out calling out their critics (private citizens) by name. VanCleave and I both testified before the State Board of Education and the Texas Senate Education Committee in regard to our concerns with Cscope. Are the owners of Cscope (TESCCC) they now intimidating government witnesses?
Following is their power-point presentation for this upcoming Summer Cscope Conference. Cscope Powerpoint Intimidating Citizens?
This is slide 8 in the power-point.
Why would they list their critics in their Summer Conference promotion? Are they having trouble getting speakers due to the fact the Cscope is now exposed for what it is, Control the Teacher, Eliminate the Parent and Indoctrinate the Children.
Unfortunately this isn’t the first time Cscope Reps have tried intimidation to shut their opposition down. I spoke at Willis ISD board meeting about Cscope not knowing the Cscope Representative from ESC VI, Linday McCulloch was in the room. She spoke after me but does not reveal her true identity or where she works.
You can read more about that night HERE.
In another attempt to alert community leaders, teachers and superintendents to my concerns with Cscope. I emailed superintendent Dan Powell with Crowley ISD and received the following response….
This is absolute non-sense! You are either crazy or ridiculously mistaken. As a Christian and patriotic American, I am most offended by your lies! Take me off your mailing list immediately, and find a shrink.

I have also made attempts to speak before the board of directors of Texas Education Service Center VI. Assistant Director Brett Hawkins told me “You are not going to tear apart something they have implemented”.

I sent the following email to teachers, community members etc.. Below this email are responses I received from school employees. The reactions I get have bring me to wonder why is there such a “LOVE” for Cscope?
We have a curriculum in over 70% of Texas Schools called Cscope that is based on a Marxist/Communist Philosophy of Collectivism. Has your local school district purchased it? Check HERE.
Senator Dan Patrick held an Senate Education Committee Hearing on Cscope January 31st. Here is his statement.
Teachers, if school administration is holding your feet to the fire and demanding that you teach Cscope please contact Senator Patrick @dan.patrick@senate.state.tx.us. or you can contact us HERE anonymously.
Cscope has come under heavy scrutiny after finding out that teachers were required to sign a DULA where they would not release the contents or say anything negative about it. It was also discovered that pro Islamic content and pro communistic lessons are being taught.
For information on Cscope you can go to www.txcscopereview.com or www.redhotconservative.com.
CSCOPE =CONROL the TEACHERS, ELIMINATING the PARENTS & INDOCTRINATE CHILDREN.
Sara Martinez Superintendent Secretary at Valley Mills ISD sent me the following response in my attempt to alert the community about Cscope.
You have your own personal agenda to make money selling your product therefore you want everyone to do away with C-Scope to buy your Science Curriculum. I was taught about communism, socialism and Islam etc. when I was in High School in my World History Class. THIS IS OK BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF OUR WORLD HISTORY therefore it is not a surprise that they included lessons about these in the C-SCOPE curriculum. I do not have any interest in reading the way you twist things to benefit your cause please remove me from your mailing list.
Thanks,
Sara Martinez

Valley Mills ISD Business Manager Brenda Byrom sent me the following emails.
I don’t know where you get your information or how you can so distort an issue as much as you are doing.
I suppose when I was a student in public schools and our textbooks taught us about Hitler and Stalin that they were teaching us about communism and we should have burned the textbooks.
Your email is ridiculous and I want to be removed from your email list.

Before you send out emails regarding education, you might want to check your grammar. The school that I attended and the one that taught my kids, made sure that we could type a coherent sentence. Obviously the one you attended did not, two sentences and neither one of them is correct. Lady you are a JOKE!!!!!! You do not have any idea how stupid you sound and how much of an idiot that your emails make you appear to be.

Those Responsible for Cscope, “Go To Jail”
The men and women on the Board of Directors of Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC), who own Cscope, the progressive/Marxist curriculum in Texas Schools in my opinion need to be in jail. What a nefarious act to implement a Marxist philosophy of education in our Texas schools for the last 6–7 years where parents could not see the lessons and teachers had to sign a non-disclosure statement that they would not release the contents or say anything negative about it. Then we have the question of where is all this money. Is this another ENRON situation a ponzi scheme. For our Texas Education Service Center Directors to form a non-profit using tax payers money to create their “Cscope” product and sell it out of our of our State Agencies using State employees? There are many questions that have not been answered. This is ESC Director XIII Terry Smith’s response being questioned as the money trail.
Communist Vladimir Lenin once quoted “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted”. Unfortunately for millions of Texas school children and unbeknownest to their parents Texas students have sat under the Marxist philosophy of the Cscope Curriculum.
I have spent the last year trying to notify community leaders, parents through every social media sight I could find. I have met with Cscope reps and spoke at Willis ISD school Board Meeting only to be lambasted by a Cscope Coordinator from ESC Region VI. You can read the whole story HERE.
I emailed teachers and school staff about my concerns and Superintendent Dan Powell from Crowley ISD in his most professional manner sent me the following response.
This is absolute non-sense! You are either crazy or ridiculously mistaken. As a Christian and patriotic American, I am most offended by your lies! Take me off your mailing list immediately, and find a shrink. Dan Powell
If you feel like contacting Mr. Powell about your concerns in regard to Cscope his email is dan.powell@crowley.k12.tx.us
Action Item….Texans we have to contact our State Reps and have them sign onto Steve Toth’s HB 760 or this will happen again.
Additional Information on Cscope can be found @ TXCSCOPEREVIEW
Texas Teachers are being intimidated into not speaking out against Cscope, a Texas progressive curriculum.. Teachers had to sign a non dislosure statement that they will not speak negative against Cscope or disclose the content.
