The saying goes “Follow the Money” to find the corruption as goes with Texas Education. Texas taxpayers are funding their own DEMISE through their local school districts. How you might ask? School superintendents are paying membership dues for themselves as well as other administrators to join the progressive liberal non-governmental entities, Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) and Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) . These two groups lobby the Texas legislature to write and pass policy in hopes of promoting their progressive agenda. TASA & TASB are just a few blocks away from the Texas Capitol making the job of lobbying convenient during the legislative session.
Why would school districts be funding lobbying groups? Texas school administrators not only vote and pay the funds to TASA and TASB but they also make up the governing board of these two organizations. SERIOUSLY? It appears to be to be a conflict of interest and unethical for school officials to fund and govern the same organization with Tax Payer funds.
Not only do Texas taxpayers fund ISD membership fees but they also pay for administrators to attend TASA & TASB conferences and pay their hotel and food bills as well. TASA is an off shoot of the national group American Association of School Administrators (AASA). This past February AASA held a conference in California where Humanist Linda Darling Hammond was the key speaker. Hammond is associated with Communist Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground Bomber. Texas Taxpayers paid for various ISD administrators to attend this conference as well.
Please contact your state reps and ask them to look into this mismanagement of taxpayer money.
