BREAKING NEWS -- SBOE APPROVES ALL 11 BIOLOGY TEXTBOOKS!
On an 11-4 vote, the State Board of Education (SBOE) voted this morning to approve all 11 Biology textbooks up for adoption.
After several months of activism and outreach by mainstream Texans from across the state, 11 of the 15 members of the Board answered with a resounding voice that they want to keep strong science standards in Biology textbooks. Only far-right board members David Bradley, Don McLeroy, Terri Leo and Gail Lowe voted against approving the textbooks.
The vote gave preliminary approval to the textbooks with a final vote for approval expected tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your calls, letters, testimony, contributions and petition signatures. Your efforts truly made a difference!
