In Texas, political activists are leveraging teacher unions and groups like the DSA and PSL to influence K–12 curricula. This report reveals how overlapping memberships in Dallas, Austin, and Houston blur the lines between labor representation and ideological organizing. These findings highlight a pressing need for scrutiny regarding political influence over Texas schoolchildren.
This report examines teacher preparation at Texas Tech, Texas State, Texas A&M, and UNT. These major programs increasingly prioritize social and political activism over academic instruction. By embedding identity-based frameworks into coursework and faculty scholarship, these institutions influence the K–12 pipeline. This shift raises significant concerns regarding the ideological direction of public education for Texas children.
The NAIS quietly shapes U.S. private education by mandating DEI frameworks through accreditation standards. This influence impacts governance, hiring, and curriculum, often without parental awareness. Since reviews occur behind closed doors, families must demand transparency regarding accreditation requirements and the outside groups shaping their schools.
This Backgrounder examines the climate justice movement, which argues that solutions to environmental issues should emphasize social, racial, and economic inequalities. Originating from environmental justice activism, climate justice calls for community-led solutions, reparations, and systemic restructuring to empower marginalized groups.
Parents play a vital role in shaping their children’s educational experiences, and access to information driving transparency is key to effective advocacy. Federal and state public records laws such as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), state-level public records laws (sometimes called Right to Know or Public Records Requests) provide powerful tools for parents to obtain information from public schools and school districts.
Here is a template to help parents request federal education records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA allows you to access records from federal agencies like the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Use this template to request information about federal policies, funding, or communications that affect your child’s school.
