H.B. 239 will kill what we achieved, as it will strip out the end of course exam requirement. We know that if it’s not required, they will not teach it. Ask State School Board member Sarah Fowler, as she was recently on our radio program stated just that. Here is the linkhttps://bit.ly/2KxYHqY
Here’s what we have found:
Now that I’ve been able to read the bill with a clear mind, I understand their approach. It is in response to our grassroots effort last year to kill the proposal by the State School Board. Now they’re trying to do it by way of statute through a study group comprised of school superintendents, school officials, teacher, and some parents that they hand-pick through the PTA. The teacher’s union has its hands all over it.
We are compiling a list of those who will come in and testify against HB 239, but we need some help in drawing up the talking points. The opponent testimony hearing is Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Primary and Secondary Education Committee, chaired by Lou Blessing. The bill has already had three hearings, sponsor, technical, proponent, and now Tuesday comes the opponent. From what we can tell, this bill is on a fast track for passage. We must alert the public on this one. Urge your networks to call the Committee to oppose H.B. 239.
