Title
Texas Citizens for Science
Description
Texas Citizens for Science is a statewide, grassroots organization dedicated to maintaining the professionalism of science education in Texas public schools, the integrity of science in the Texas public school curriculum, and the accuracy of science in Texas government agencies and institutions. Our members include both working scientists and citizens interested in preserving the quality of science education in Texas. We model ourselves after the successful Kansas Citizens for Science and Ohio Citizens for Science, and organized for the same reason they did: to oppose the organized forces of unreason in our state that wish to degrade the quality of science education in our schools and ignore the use of accurate science in state government agencies.
Ensuring that the scientific integrity of science textbooks used in Texas schools and the Texas science curriculum in TEKS are not compromised by keeping them free of political, ideological, and religious influence.
Preserving the state law that prevents the State Board of Education from censoring science textbooks--as it has in past decades, by forcing publishers to make changes in their science textbooks that modify or remove scientifically-accurate information in order to make the content palatable with some State Board members' ideological biases and prejudices--by allowing only changes that ensure that science textbooks are "free from factual errors."
