State Board of Education 9.9 State Board of Education http://www.tea.state.tx.us/sboe/ The State Board of Education (SBOE) is created by the Texas Constitution to implement a constitutional mandate to maintain a free public education system. Though currently an elected body, the State Board of Education underwent seesaw changes in recent decades. It was originally created as an elected body, but one of several public school reforms passed in 1984 made it an appointed board. In 1987, Texans voted by a wide margin to return to an elective board, though, as with many other positions in Texas government, the governor appoints a replacement if a seat becomes vacant between elections. The fifteen board members represent districts across the state, and serve four-year terms. However, since 1995, the governor appoints the Commissioner of Education (an administrative post, not a voting member of the board) as well as the board's chairperson. On the Internet, Texas residents can identify the SBOE representative from their district and find

73. Texas Freedom Network In texas, the religious right has targeted the State Board of education as a keybattleground for exerting its influence over school curriculum and textbook http://www.tfn.org/aboutus/tfnef.htm

R E T U R N History and Accomplishments The Texas Freedom Network Education Fund (TFNEF) was founded in 1996 by Cecile Richards, a longtime labor organizer and daughter of former Texas Governor Ann Richards. Over the past four years, the organization has developed a track record of involving grassroots participants and non-traditional allies in our activities to counter the growing influence of the Religious Right in Texas. In addition to fulfilling hundreds of public speaking and training workshop engagements and requests for information, TFNEF has spearheaded projects in the areas listed below: Organizing religious leaders to speak out TFNEF has organized a group of 400 clergy to form the Texas Faith Network, to provide an authoritative, faith-based response to the religious right. In 1998, the Faith Network's statewide conference, Mobilizing the Progressive Religious Community, was attended by over 150 participants and featured state and national speakers from Protestant, Catholic and Jewish backgrounds. The Faith Network also works to assure that voices of religious leaders who are not a part of the religious right are heard on diverse issues including school prayer, church distribution of partisan voters guides, charitable choice, welfare reform, and private school vouchers.

R E T U R N TEXAS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Overview Composition and Election of State Board of Education The Texas State Board of Education is composed of fifteen members elected by popular vote. Members serve a four-year term. Elections are held every other year in conjunction with the Texas primary in May and the general election in November. Currently, there are six Democrats and nine Republicans who serve as members. Five of the nine Republicans vote in a bloc on every issue and are affiliated with the radical right. Virtually all the right-wing members home school their children or send them to religious schools, support private school vouchers, and received financial support for their election campaigns from the same, very few sources. SBOE members receive no salary or financial compensation from the State or Districts they serve. Campaign costs used to be about $3000 per race. Now that extremist groups like Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition are trying to takeover the Texas State Board of Education, that amount has changed dramatically. Over the past few years, some campaigns raised over $100,000. During the 1998 campaign cycle, one political action committee (PAC), the A+PAC, raised and spent over $5 million to elect radical right State Board of Education candidates and Texas legislators who support private school vouchers and in 2000, Religious Right SBOE candidate Bob Schoolfield spent over $200,000 on the primary elections alone. A major contributor of that PAC and a direct major donor to most of the right-wing state board members is

80. Textbook Committees In the late 1980 s, the state of texas mandated that creationist textbooks adoptedby state education committees have the Alabama state school board to include http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2437/textbrds.htm

Textbook Committees: Historically, this has been one of the creationist's most successful tactics. The idea here is to influence the treatment of evolution in biology textbooks, insuring that the subject is mentioned only briefly or not at all. Dorothy Nelkin describes how this tactic works: The creationist effort to influence the state textbook committees usually focuses on a handful of large states, where they can the get maximum effect for a minimum expenditure of money and manpower. The state of California alone, for instance, accounts for over ten percent of all money spent on textbooks in the United States. Another large state, Texas, has traditionally been sympathetic to the creationists (in 1994, the Republican Party in Texas adopted a platform plank advocating teaching creationism in the schools), and also accounts for a large portion of the textbook market. In both of these states, creationists attempt to win a majority on the textbook selection committees so they can influence the content of biology textbooks. By pressuring these large markets towards expunging or limiting mention of evolution in textbooks, the creationists hope to influence the textbooks which are made available to other states as well. And such efforts seem to have been at least partially successful. In the late 1970's, when creationists were attempting to pressure the California state education committee to mandate "equal treatment" for creation science, The most widely- used biology textbook in the state (also used throughout the country)
