We Need Your Help to Restore Texas Education
A message from Cindi Castilla, President, Texas Eagle Forum
In April, patriots throughout Texas showed up to testify before the State Board of Education (SBOE) for Social Studies standards that will help students better understand the people, places, and events that made Texas and America great.
At the same time, leaders from non-assimilating cultures and Leftists (sadly, including Texas teachers and their indoctrinated students) were there to fight against us and asked for DEI, LGBTQ focus, the glorification of foreign cultures, and continuing disparagement of America and our history.
The Texas patriots won the first battle! After listening to the testimony of several hundred Texans in person and examining thousands of online testimonies, the SBOE members, led by Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall, worked to make the standards even stronger than they were going in.
Defend Texas Values Before the Final Vote
The SBOE is required to provide one more opportunity for public testimony before its final vote. The Left is working overtime to change SBOE members’ minds and get them to reverse course.
We cannot let that happen! There are several ways you can help. Please choose the one that works best for you.

The State Board of Education will also consider the required, revised literature list for students in kindergarten through 12th grade that restores an emphasis on classic works, cultural literacy, and the texts that have shaped our language, history, and civilization.
The proposed list helps students engage with enduring works of literature while providing the historical and literary background necessary to understand many of the world's most influential writings.
