Conservatives Attack Texas Curriculum Revision Plans
Conservative groups and State Board member Donna Ballard criticize the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills revision for rigor and phonics focus. Education Commissioner Mike Moses defends revisions while Ballard urges more rigorous second grade instruction and criticizes Gov. Bush's support for the proposal. Early voting starts July 21 for Aug. 9 ballot measures including a school property tax cut funded by a $1 billion surplus.
