We want to highlight something that's happening in one school district tonight because it's emblematic of the disrespect for educators + students we've seen crop up statewide.

Thx to @TFN & @ACLUTx for sounding the alarm about Grapevine-Colleyville ISD's board meeting. šŸ§µ
Tonight, the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD school board will vote on some radical policies that hamper educators' ability to #TeachTheTruth & target our LGBTQIA+ students.

You can find the policies here, but this thread will look at the most worrisome: meetings.boardbook.org/Documents/WebVā€¦

Remember, the outrage is fueled by a hijacked academic term, a collection of words that became a talking point after many repetitions.

Most Americans want their children to hear the true, accurate version of our history, not the censored one.

The only way to stop #HB3979 from becoming law is to convince TX Legislators to vote no or to let the bill die by not voting. It will take 1 min. CALL NOW wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home This bill suppresses speech, cuts funding, threatens AP/dual credit, & bans teaching current events. Image
It will take one minute. You can also just say "I Oppose HB 3979" You will be speaking to an unfailingly polite staffer. Call today. Image
