She didn\u2019t have to. The school board voted 6-1 to delete them.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to strip chapters from books that had already won the approval of the state\u2019s conservative board of education represents an escalation in local school boards\u2019 efforts to influence what children in public schools are taught. Through the years, battles over textbooks have played out at the state level, where Republicans hold the majority. But local school boards that are supposed to be nonpartisan had largely avoided such fights \u2014 they weighed in on whether some books should be in libraries but rarely intervened so directly into classroom instruction. Cypress-Fairbanks now provides a model for supercharging these efforts at more fine-grained control, said Christopher Kulesza, a scholar at Rice University\u2019s Baker Institute for Public Policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that would concern me is that it\u2019s ideology pushing the educational standards rather than what\u2019s fact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The board\u2019s actions send a troubling message to students of color, Alissa Sundrani, a junior at Cy-Fair High School, said. \u201cAt the point that you\u2019re saying that diversity, or making people feel safe and included, is not in the guidelines or not in the scope of what Texas wants us to be learning, then I think that\u2019s an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With about 120,000 students, nearly 80% of whom are of Hispanic, Black and Asian descent, Cy-Fair is the largest school district in Texas to be taken over by ideologically driven conservative candidates. Blasingame was among a slate of candidates who were elected through the at-large voting system that ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found has been leveraged by conservative groups seeking to influence what children are taught about race and gender. Supporters say the system, in which voters cast ballots for all candidates districtwide instead of ones who live within specific geographic boundaries, results in broader representation for students, but voting rights advocates argue that it dilutes the power of voters of color.<\/p>\n<p>Blasingame and others campaigned against the teaching of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that discusses systemic racism. Most of the winning candidates had financial backing from Texans for Educational Freedom, a statewide PAC that sought to build a \u201cstronghold\u201d of school board trustees \u201ccommitted to fighting Critical Race Theory and other anti-American agendas and curriculums.\u201d The PAC helped elect at least 30 school board candidates across the state between 2021 and 2023, in part because it focused on anti-CRT sentiment, said its founder, Christopher Zook Jr. \u201cYou could literally go out and say, CRT, you know, \u2018Stop critical race theory in schools,\u2019 and everyone knew what that means, right?\u201d he said. \u201cThe polling showed that that messaging works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before Blasingame and two fellow conservatives won election in 2021, Texas lawmakers passed a landmark law that sought to shape how teachers approach instruction on race and racism. The law, which aimed to ban critical race theory, prohibits the \u201cinculcation\u201d of the notion that someone\u2019s race makes them \u201cinherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blasingame made no mention of the law when she pushed to remove chapters about teaching a diverse student body, but pointed to it as the reason for her objection in text messages and an interview with ProPublica and the Tribune. Though Blasingame acknowledged that one of the chapters had \u201cvery good presentation on learning styles,\u201d she said removing the whole chapter was the only option because administrators said individual lines could not be stricken from the book.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingservicesamerica.com\/?p=195\">Idaho Gave Families $50M to Spend on Private Education. Then It Ended a $30M Program Used by Public School Families.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The textbook referred to \u201ccultural humility\u201d and called for aspiring teachers to examine their \u201cunintentional and subtle biases,\u201d concepts that she said \u201cgo against\u201d the law. The school board needed to act because the book \u201cslipped through\u201d before the state\u2019s education agency  to make sure materials complied with the law, Blasingame said.<\/p>\n<p>State Board Chairman Aaron Kinsey, who is staunchly anti-CRT, declined to say if he thought the body had allowed textbooks to slip through as Blasingame suggested. Kinsey, however, said in a statement that contracts with approved publishers include requirements that their textbooks comply with all applicable laws. He did not comment on Cy-Fair removing chapters.<\/p>\n<p>Cy-Fair appears to have taken one of the state\u2019s most aggressive approaches to enforcing the law, which does not address what is in textbooks but rather how educators approach teaching, said Paige Duggins-Clay, the chief legal analyst for the Intercultural Development Research Agency, a San Antonio-based nonprofit that advocates for equal educational opportunity.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt definitely feels like Cy-Fair is seeking to test the boundaries of the law,\u201d Duggins-Clay said. \u201cAnd I think in a district like Cy-Fair, because it is so diverse, that is actively hurting a lot of young people who are ultimately paying the cost and bearing the burden of these really bad policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The law\u2019s vagueness has drawn criticism from conservative groups who say it allows school districts to skirt its prohibitions. Last month, Attorney General Ken Paxton  against the Coppell school district in North Texas and accused administrators of illegally teaching \u201cwoke and hateful\u201d CRT curriculum. The suit points to a secret recording of an administrator saying that the district will do what\u2019s right for students \u201cdespite what our state standards say.\u201d The lawsuit does not provide examples of curriculum that it alleges violates state law on how to teach race. In a letter to parents, Superintendent Brad Hunt said that the district was following state standards and would \u201ccontinue to fully comply with applicable state and federal laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teachers and progressive groups have also argued that the law leaves too much open to interpretation, which causes educators to self-censor and could be used to target anything that mentions race.<\/p>\n<p>Blasingame disputes the critique. A longtime administrator and teacher whose family emigrated from South Africa when she was 9 years old, she said she embraces diversity in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiversity is people and I love people,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m called to do, first as a Christian and then as an educator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But she said she opposes teaching about systemic racism and state-sanctioned efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion, saying that they overemphasize the importance of skin color.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey seed hate and teach students that they are starting off behind and have unconquerable disadvantages that they will suffer all their lives,\u201d Blasingame said. \u201cNot only does this teach hate among people, but how could you love a country where this is true?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The assertion that teaching diversity turns students of color into victims is simply wrong, educators and students told the news organizations. Instead, they said, such discussions make them feel safe and accepted.<\/p>\n<p>One educator who uses the \u201cTeaching\u201d textbook said the board members\u2019 decision to remove chapters related to diversity has been painful for students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what their true intentions are, but to my students, what they are seeing is that unless you fit into the mold and you are like them, you are not valued,\u201d said the teacher, who did not want to be named because she feared losing her job. \u201cThere were several who said it made them not want to teach anymore because they felt so unsupported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The board\u2019s interpretation of the state\u2019s law on the teaching of race has stifled important classroom discussions, said Sundrani, the student in the district. Her AP English class, a seminar about the novel \u201cHuckleberry Finn,\u201d steered clear of what she thinks are badly needed conversations about race, slavery and how that history impacts people today.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingservicesamerica.com\/?p=193\">A Gutted Education Department\u2019s New Agenda: Roll Back Civil Rights Cases, Target Transgender Students<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were topics that we just couldn\u2019t discuss.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The decision to strip chapters from books that had already won the approval of the state\u2019s Republican-controlled board of education represents an escalation in how local school boards run by ideological conservatives influence what children learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","tag-education"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Texas School Board Cut State-Approved Textbook Chapters About Diversity.
