DIS10-Unmasking the Shortcomings of Amplify OER

Evelyn Brooks, the Texas State Board of Education representative for District 14, leads an essential conversation on the future of education in Texas, dedicated to preserving the core values of public education. With a passionate advocacy for students' rights to a quality education, she emphasizes the importance of protecting their freedoms from indoctrination. In an enlightening dialogue with host Jackie Besinger, Brooks explores the intricate connections between foundational courses, curriculum, and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills while addressing the challenges posed by inappropriate religious and global historical content in resources like K-5 Amplify Open Education Resources or the new Texas Bluebonnets. By uncovering vital truths and dispelling common misconceptions, they highlight the necessity of aligning our educational framework with foundational values and constitutional principles. This unwavering commitment guarantees that every child receives a high-quality education rooted in freedom and integrity, all through the lens of an experienced educator who is devoted to safeguarding our educational system from external influences.

Evelyn Brooks' promise is to protect the innocence of children by carefully selecting and voting in favor of Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum standards and the aligned curriculum materials that promote and maintain the morals and standards of Texas families. Further, Brooks will strive to be available to her constituents in District 14 so that the unheard can be heard. She looks forward to working cooperatively with members of the Texas State Board of Education, the Texas Commissioner of Education, and the Texas Education Agency to ensure that these outcomes are fulfilled.

Brooks represents constituents from the following counties: Bosque, Clay, Comanche, Coryell, Eastland, Ellis, Erath, Hamilton, Hill, Jack, McLennan, Mills, Montague, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Wise, and parts of Dallas, Denton, and Johnson Counties.
