Justin's testimony at the Texas State Board of Education 01/13/10 (1/2)

On January 13th, 2010 the Texas State Board of Education held a meeting to hear public testimony on modification to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards (which determine required curriculum) for the next TEN YEARS. We home school our children specifically because we felt they were not being taught proper American principles, and not being protected from deceptive, ideologically radical curriculum produced by special interests that has infiltrated the school system. The purpose of our testimony was to bring attention to these issues and urge the board to consider them when making modifications to the TEKS.

i think he's reading too fast..

[realm9moralmarketing]

Been covered already, 3 minute opening limit.

[TheMysteriousAtheist]

standing up to the texas board = good. Walking into a professional setting with such a unprofessional haircut = stupid..

[realm9moralmarketing]

Society's inexplicable addiction to a focus on the trivial superficial is a distraction from what really matters. Peace, love and liberty.

[TheMysteriousAtheist]

It is, but that still doesnt change the fact that almost everyone in that room was probably more focused on your hair then your words. You can play that "Im gonna be me and do what I want" all you want, but when you step into the professional world, if you want to get stuff done that means playing ball.

[realm9moralmarketing]

Being me and expressing my individual nature has worked wonders for my professional career for a long time. So, I disagree with your theory. If it works for you, cool.

I know when I first heard how fast the man was speaking, I thought he was on a timer, and when it was up they'd just rudely brush him aside. The laughter of the board was very disrepectful behavior that should not be practiced by a supposedly professional group, not to mention that it's not going to build any trust with the populace.

@TheMysteriousAtheist You fail.

[christoph2005]

Laugh if you want. The bottom line is, if you were actually willing to listen to the points he made, he kicked the TBOE's ass. To which they responded, "Lol".

The problem is that the board thinks they are all powerful and that these hearings are all charade.

I feel what the TBOE is doing is deliberately mischievous and criminal charges should be brought against them.

Contributing to the delinquency of a state full of minors.

~Thumbs up if you agree.

@realm9moralmarketing First impressions are just that. First impressions. You blew em away! After you began talking; they didn't even notice your haircut. Who cares! You wore a shirt and tie an looked clean and well groomed. You were definitely taken seriously.

[TheHomelessCripple]

The Texas board of education is filled with idiots and creationists.

[CalicoVall]

Question: Why is everybody saying that he's going too fast? I can understand him quite well as he is speaking. Or is it just me? LOL

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

TX is in deep doodoo having board memebers like that old woman who's response was more laughter than content.

@Redpilldown Everyone needs to get out of state schools, they indoctrinate you and misrepresent their opposition, I came out of high school a socialist, then I learned about the American Revolution and economics ONLINE THROUGH YOUTUBE and learned 100X more then all that time I was tortuously forced to be in school and immediately became a libertarian.

[Hashishin13]

@TheMysteriousAtheist Yea your argument is what is stupid buddy. This isn't an office-building, it's a governmental agency. That means that it is supposed to be working for the citizens regardless of whether or not he has a rainbow colored 3 foot long mo-hawk and hes only wearing a grass skirt. If you think I'm being unrealistic, well that may be true, but you are pandering to bigoted idiots, which only inspires more people to become bigoted idiots.

[Hashishin13]

Listen to the scumbags laughing at the citizen, "Look at him, he thinks we have representative government, how quaint." You know its what their thinking.

[Redpilldown]

America, if you let this happen.......you will help send your country back into the dark ages.

Unbiased truth, education and forward thinking is the only way to give are children a chance to think for themselves and be successful human beings.

All the best of luck from the UK
