Momentum Instruction introduced a book on Mexican American studies for approval for use in Texas schools. The text was rejected by a 15-0 vote because there were over a hundred inaccuracies. Evidently, it was the politically correct version. The company claimed they corrected all the information but the panel didn’t believe them. Texas laws says that all texts must be 100% free of false information. The texts couls be sold directly to individual schools throughout the state and cities like ultra liberal Houston could use them in 2018 if they so desire.
Recently, Breitbart Texas asked ardent Mexican American Studies (MAS) activist Tony Diaz why proponents for the Mexican American elective never submitted any textbooks given they had two years of time before the SBOE met on this matter.
This was a kerfuffle to put it mildly,” he said. “If we open this up again, I promise you there are going to be books,” he added, chalking up the failure of Mexican American publishers, writers and scholars to submit any textbooks to a new process that was “a little complicated” to navigate. He said “some didn’t go through all the steps” or “finish the process.” He said others found it difficult to complete without rushing. “I’m a bit wiser now about the process,” he admitted.
The board will now accept new submissions to cover the 2018 school year.
