Joseph Wade Miller is the Senior Advisor for Heritage Foundation. He has blocked many that agree with him on most subjects except school choice. Here is a Facebook thread that some where in and he blocked them from commenting further. I piled them together so others can read.

I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone today with Sen. Huffines Education Policy director, Lauren who is at the Austin office (very nice lady)
***ALERT***
THERE WILL BE TESTING for all those that apply and get the state funding through Education Savings Accounts (ESA) in this proposed "School Choice" legislation.
Now with that said a student has to be in the public school system for an un-determined amount of time to qualify for the funding. (There was original discussion that this would be 100 days and it is not set in stone as of yet).
Now I want you to wrap your head around this home schoolers. Texas has been the best State in the US to homeschool due to our freedom from state mandates and testing. If this "School Choice" bill passes those who choose to exit the public school system to homeschool and buy into the money carrot of (ESA's) are unfortunately NOT aware of the freedom we have been blessed with.
Unfortunately, I feel many will be duped into taking the $$ keeping their child in the system. With this comes control, state mandates, testing and data collection on TEXAS' future homeschool community.
Please do not buy into the "MANTRA" that this $$ is going to parents to "EMPOWER" them to be involved in their child's education.A parent that wants to be involved in their child's education WILL BE!!
With that said I am most upset that the Texas Home School Coalition is throwing future Texas Homeschoolers under the bus.
If your on facebook please join in our discussion.

ISLAM IN TEXAS SCHOOLS
WHY CAN'T PARENTS SEE THE CURRICULUM?
WHY ARE THERE NO TEXTBOOKS?
WHY CAN'T TEACHERS DISCLOSE THE CONTENT?
(BE SURE TO WATCH BOTH SHORT VIDEOS BELOW)
Many Texas public school superintendents have thrown aside text books and bought, at great expense to the local taxpayers, an unproven curriculum called CSCOPE. DOES YOUR SCHOOL USE IT..CHECK HERE.
Teachers we are here to help you. We have an attorney on our side if you want to speak out and are afraid to. You must not lose your voice in the Progressive/Marxist take over of our Texas Education System. Many of us spoke before the SBOE against Cscope in hopes of exposing it.
Matt Patrick, radio host from Houston was able to give some airtime to Cscope yesterday twice. Here is a audio to the broadcast.
Cscope's learning theory is based on
Lev Vygotsky marxist views.
CSCOPE was never approved by our Texas State Board of Education, nor subjected to public review. What is in the CSCOPE lessons that warrants superintendents gagging their teachers? Why are teachers so scared to speak out against Cscope in fear of losing their jobs?
How damaging could CSCOPE lessons be for teachers to be coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement? Teachers are not even allowed to reveal the content of CSCOPE lessons to parents.
If children are not using textbooks and the content of CSCOPE lessons cannot be shared with parents, how can parents be involved in the education of their children? Are parents forbidden to visit classrooms to prevent their viewing CSCOPE material being used?
There are lessons indoctrinating children with Islam and verses of the Quran along with the United Nations Agenda.
The following is an excerpt out of a World History Lesson in High School....notice that they promote a loving kinder Islam..
Background Information:
In 622, Islam arose in the Middle East and quickly filled the void of power left from the weakened Persian and Byzantine Empires. Emerging from the Arabian Peninsula by an Arabic religious and military leader, Muhammad began an Islamic Empire that soon expanded from the Arabian Peninsula, into Mesopotamia, beyond Syria and across northern Africa into the Iberian (Spain) Peninsula. Through Muhammad and his successors, Islam quickly expanded beyond the Arabian Peninsula as its military machine took advantage of the vacuum of power in its quest for goods. As the Islamic empire expanded into land occupied by “non-believers”, the Muslims exhibited remarkable tolerance of other peoples’ customs, tradition, and religion. Outside of their own community of believers they did not feel that religious solidarity was an essential element of rule and order of an empire, an idea that was very revolutionary of the time. Despite their high level of tolerance they did rapidly and ruthlessly expand their empire until they resorted to a more peaceful and economical means of acquiring wealth and power by taking advantage of natural trade routes that incorporated the exchange of most of Asian and European goods and with this exchange of that enabled cross- cultural influences throughout its region. It was during this time that Islam experienced its “Golden Age,” a period of time in which Islam achieved its greatest artistic, scientific and technological innovations. Despite their successes, the Islamic Caliphates could not avoid the emergence of factions resulting from infighting over Islamic Orthodoxy, tradition and succession of power among competing leaders. In the end the Caliphate succumbed to the typical pressure of maintaining a large Empire.
How can parents keep their children safe if they are not allowed to view instructional materials used by a school?
Is the objective of CSCOPE to wedge out parent involvement?
Do public school superintendents have the legal right to force teachers to not reveal content of lessons? Perhaps it is time to call for public scrutiny of CSCOPE and demand answers to these questions.

This is a video of me speaking before the Willis ISD school board. I pointed out to the school board and audience things that many parents and administrators are not aware of.
The individual who spoke after me presented herself as just a "mom" who could only sing her praises and love of Cscope. She seemed irate that I brought attention to the fallacies of Cscope. I watched in amazement why supposedly just a "concerned mom" would be so offended by my comments. Well, the truth is she isn't just a concerned mom in the district she is actually Linday McCulloch, Cscope Coordinator from ESC VI. SHE SOLD THE CURRICULUM TO WILLIS ISD. No wonder the supposedly concerned mom is irate.
Watch her video Here.

CSCOPE, WHAT IS BEHIND THE CURTAIN, PART I
CSCOPE, WHAT IS BEHIND THE CURTAIN PART II
Texas is made up of 20 Education Service Centers. 19 of the Texas Education Service Centers (ESC) joined ranks and formed Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC) which owns Cscope. T
For reason's unknown at the time ESC #4 did not buy into the Collaborative.
Below you will find photos and information on the Board of Directors of TESCCC. Though TESCCC owns Cscope many other individuals are behind and supporting it. Texas has 2 RINO State Board of Education members that are in full support of Cscope, Thomas Ratliff and Patricia Hardy.
Cscope is molded after Obama's Common Core Curriculum. Common Core Curriculum is promoted by Education adviser to Obama,Humanist Linda Darling Hammond who is also associated with Communist William (Bill) Ayers. Hammond is a frequent guest speaker at Cscope Conferences. Texas Associtation of School Adminstrators (TASA) is gearing up to attend the American Association of School Adminstrators (AASA) in California in Feb. to hear Linda Darling Hammond speak on the Common Core.

Additional information on Cscope.
American Exceptionalism will no longer exist in the minds of our children. Texas has joined ranks with the leftist agenda in indoctrinating our children with a progressive ideology. Over 70% of Texas public schools, some private and charter have purchased and implemented the progressive curriculum, Cscope. Cscope is based on Obama's Common Core. Common Core advocate Linda Darling Hammond is a top education adviser to Obama and is also associated with communist revolutionary Bill Ayers. Linda Darling Hammond has been a guest speaker at Cscope Conferences and is the quest speaker this February in California for the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) National Conference. Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) is gearing up to attend the National Conference and hear Linda Darling Hammond speak and promote Common Core which, Texas rejected. Their fees and travel plans will be paid for with your tax dollars.
Cscope is owned by Texas Education Service Center's Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC). The men and women behind Cscope are the Board of Directors of TESCCC which are the directors of the Texas Education Service Centers excluding ESC 4.
Our children are not being taught about the great men and women who sacrificed their lives for this country nor or they taught that these sacrifices attribute to the FREEDOM we have been so fortunate to enjoy.Instead our children are being indoctrinated with a pro Islamic, anti christian view. Texas students could benefit greatly from studying the lives of great men such as Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Abe Lincoln or better yet the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul. Unfortunately for our children Cscope writers felt it more important that 6 grade students chronicle Islamic Scholar Ibn Battuta's pilgrimage to Mecca and Mohammad's tomb in Medina. The fact that Cscope is pushing a pro Islamic view is indisputable. Time after time their agenda is exposed, and as soon as it is, the Cscope Reps run to pull the exposed material with a flip of a switch (due to it being an online curriculum). Fortunately there are many concerned about this indoctrination of our children that have already captured the original Cscope documents in order to verify Cscope's intentions. Here is another captured portion of a 6 grade lesson indicating Cscope reps true intentions to indoctrinate your children with a pro Islamic view.
For additional information on Cscope and it's indoctrination go to WWW.TXCSCOPEREVIEW.COM
News report: New Act of Terror!
A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the
property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port. Although
no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise,
considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the
perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and
apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help
of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities
from the authorities. It is believed that the terrorist attack was a
response to the policies enacted by the occupying country’s
government. Even stronger policies are anticipated by the local citizens.
Here is the actual lesson....Terrorism.pdf
Is this not appalling? Texas Cscope curriculum is referring to the Boston Tea Party as a Terrorist act! I would refer to these men as Patriots!
Texas Parents wake up and speak out against this Progressive/Marxist ideology. Here is a link to another blog on this.
The rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire
In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. A religion developed on the belief in the coming of the Christ (Messiah in Judaism), Christianity started as a denomination in Judaism based on the teachings of Jesus, a young Jewish rabbi in Nazareth. Rooted in both Jewish and Greek ideas and practices, Christianity was also influenced by Mithraism in the Roman Empire, an offshoot of the Persian religion Zoroastrianism. After the death of Jesus, his disciples spread it to the non-Jewish populations in the Roman empire. Especially in the hands of Paul of Tarsus, Christianity became a universal religion. |
Dear Patriots,
We have spent the last four years fighting the progressive ideology that has taken over our country. While at the same time our children in Texas are being indoctrinated with the same ideology with the use of a curriculum called Cscope. Over 80% of Texas schools use it. Does yours? Check here. Cscope is based on progressivism and marxist ideology. The curriculum is pro Islamic (lessons attached) and anti Christian. For the most part there are no text books and children do not bring home homework. Parents are not allowed to see the curriculum (if they did they would not understand what they were looking at due to use of their new "educanese" wording. Teachers had to sign a non disclosure statement that they would not disclose the content or say anything negative about it.
The State Board of Education has no say so over curriculum any longer thanks to senate bill 6 passed in the last legislative session. You can find more information on Cscope @ cscsopereview.com.
Please read about my activism in the Willis ISD school district fighting this. HERE & HERE
For the sake of our children and future generations we have to stop this.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
**If someone has an interest in following this money trail.. I wish you would.. Big Bucks behind this mess.
"If there must be trouble let it be in my day, so my child may have peace."
Dear Patriot Friends,
I went to a Willis ISD Jr High to hand out a flyers, letting the parents and taxpayers know that Willis had purchased and implemented Cscope (a progressive, pro Islamic, anti christian ) curriculum. Someone called the cops and she (very nice lady) came and told me that I could not hand flyers out on the campus. I asked if I was able to hand them out in the street and she said "fine".
Bob Bagley showed up and we finished handing them out in the street. We went to another elementary school school that had a fence around it with a lot of road frontage. Someone called the cops again and she (same nice lady) showed up and told us we were on school property. Thankfully Bob was with me and was able to correct her and she left. While handing things out the principal approached me later and told me I was on school property and would have to leave. I corrected her and she left.
We had some great conversations with parents. They had been wondering why their children do not bring any books home. Tomorrow night there is a school board meeting. I can't wait to go.
I started thinking we patriots are fighting night and day to save our country. At the same time children across America including Texas are being indoctrinated with a progressive mindset. We need to take a stand now...for the sake of our children.

MY CONFRONTATION WITH JUDGE ED EMMETT
I wished I had a video of my confrontation with Harris County's Judge Ed Emmett. You should of been a fly on the wall of the Montgomery County Republican's Women luncheon last Thursday, Sept. 27,2012. Judge Emmett was speaking and after he finished the incoming 2013 MCRW President Mary Lea Kirk, stood up and mentioned concern over the Harmony Schools, Fethullah Gulen and Islam. The Judge immediately got up and said he disagreed with her and said Harmony Academy Schools are fantastic, they are peaceful people and kids are on a waiting list to get it.
I confronted him afterwards and he was defensive from the start. He made a statement saying "just because Eagle Forum is concerned about the movement should not bring cause for alarm." He would ask me questions in a derogatory tone "Have you read the Quran?" "Do you speak Arabic?". Our conversation became pretty heated and I tried to end it saying that we would have agree to disagree and we would know when we see the Lord Jesus. He misunderstood what I said and threw his arms up in the air and walked off saying "I have had it and will not have someone question my faith". Fortunately there were others that were there to witness his emotional tantrum. I really wished someone would of had it on video. He rejoined in the conversation berating and continually questioning me "Do you think all Muslim are bad?" I just responded "I question any faith that reads the Quran which calls for the killing of the infidels and it is others like him that will not acknowledge the danger of Islam that will destroy this country."
I walked away in tears startled by this man's behavior and treatment of me. I wonder if he treats all women that way who take a diffent stance than he does on a issue?
The MCRW current president Alice Melancon called me yesterday to apologize and inferred that the Judge's behavior was out of line.
Judge Ed Emmett is not on our side. He is a name dropper with a short fuse and Napoleon complex. He is all for social justice as you will see in this article.
These videos are the Judge speaking at a Gulen Institute luncheon.
This is a website many articles from wikileaks on Fethullah Gulen
Pass it on.... Judge Emmett needs to be voted out!!
