Sign if you agree: Textbook publishers must not cave to Texas Board of Education

Textbook publishers

The right-wing majority on the Texas State Board of Education wants to revise the state's standards for science textbooks to require the addition of religious pseudoscience in biology, and to have history textbooks whitewash slavery and Jim Crow.

Because of the scale of production of these textbooks, the dictates of the Texas Board of Education would be included in textbooks used by millions of students in other states.

We won't change the minds of right-wingers at the Texas Board of Education. But textbook publishers can refuse to make these changes, or pull out of the state's business altogether.

Sign the petition in telling textbook publishers to stand up to ideologues on the Texas State Board of Education.

"Science and history textbooks should provide our children with the best and most broadly accepted information. It is unacceptable to cave to right-wing politicians and include religious pseudoscience in your publications.

Please do not do business with the Texas Board of Education if they insist on a dangerous agenda that denies evolution, climate change and slavery."
