As you see posts for a Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) alternative called Texans For Excellence In Eduction (TEE) being pushed by two State House members, the Tarrant County Judge, and a State Board of Education member... (1 of 5) #txed #txlege ImageImageImageImage
And you look at Texans for Excellence in Education website, which calls out not being "driven by political agendas", and also their Facebook ads currently running, focusing on "students' well being", "the beginning of a new era of representation", and "myths vs facts"... (2) ImageImageImageImage
Keep in mind this organization, Texans for Excellence In Education, that is supposedly not driven by political agendas and is non-partisan, it has released all of these ads, dripping with Christian nationalist talking points to make people fear public schools (3)
#txed #txlege Image
This is all Texans for Excellence In Education too. Christian nationalism, anti-LGBTQ, anti-diversity, purity culture nonsense. All to make people fear public schools.
So when people talk about the TASB alternative, know it's just another dog-whistle. (4)
#txed #txlege Image
When trying to research Texans for Excellence in Education, there is one organization by that name currently pending review. They are a "Foreign Nonprofit Corporation", where foreign just means not from Texas.

Texans for Excellence aren't even really Texans (FIN)

When they talk about wanting to return to “traditional values”, they are talking about an idealized time (for those like them), when white men held all the power and women knew their place. It’s patriarchy.

The imagery of the time drives that point home. Painfully. (1/6) 🧵 ImageImageImageImage
“Traditional values”

“If your husband ever finds out”
“Most husbands, nowadays, have stopped beating their wives”
“Is it always illegal to kill a woman”
“She was ready to have him walk all over her”
(2/6) ImageImageImageImage
“Traditional values”

“Think of all the planning that goes into meals to make him contented!”
“Get out of the kitchen sooner”
“That’s what wives are for”
“It’s a wifesaver!”
