BearWitness: Take action now! Education Bill Section 1006.29 of SB 2120

[Patricia M. McBride]

Our friends over at Bear Witness are also sending out the education alert.  If you have not taken action on this, please do.  Your voice in your child's or grandchild's education is at stake.  This is too important not to take action on. Florida Action Alert! Take action now! Then, forward to your contacts.   A LETTER TO GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT OF FLORIDA May 24, 2011 Dear Governor Scott, Up until now, parents, grandparents, and other laypeople have participated in the State Instructional Materials Committee (SIMC). This committee has been made up of people with different backgrounds from all parts of the State of Florida, With this input, there is a greater chance that the textbooks approved by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) best represent what the people of our great State want for their children. With the passage of Section 1006.29 of SB 2120, laypeople will no longer take part in the approval of textbooks. This law would allow the use of current textbooks that are openly anti-American, pro-Islamic, anti-Judeo/Christian, and just plain not the textbooks our students should be using if they are to get the proper education to prepare them for life in the United States of America. We, the People of Florida, do not accept this. We want you to veto this section, as it places the choice of textbooks on a few "expert" people. These "experts" may not reflect the consensus of the people. Please do not sign this legislation as it stands now. The rights of the people of the State of Florida to have a say in what their children learn will be denied. Sincerely, R. Perez Board of Directors Bear Witness Central PS.
