Curriculum
94. National Core Curriculum
We oppose the use of national or international standards in the State of Texas (i.e., International Baccalaureate, Common Core, any remnants of CSCOPE, United Nations Inclusion, National Sexuality Education Standards, and SIECUS, etc.). We strongly urge the Texas Legislature to replace the STAAR accountability test with one of the dozens of group-administered achievement tests that meet the Texas statutory and State Board of Education (SBOE) requirements related to the relevance of data used to compute state and national norms for the assessments. We also oppose the modification of college entrance exams to reflect any national core philosophies as well as use of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, and other quasi-therapeutic programs in schools. Any school district that violates state law banning the use of a national core curriculum or standards shall lose all state funding until said curricula or standards are removed and no longer used in classrooms.
