Update on Cesar Chavez and the Texas history book situation
01/21/2010


We want to thank everyone who sent e-mails to the TX State Board of Education and told them not to erase Cesar Chavez and Hispanic historical figures from school text books. Your response was overwhelming with more than 11,000 people taking action in a week and has made a huge difference. Board Chairman Gail Lowe indicated at the start of the January 14th hearing that Chavez will not be removed from the standards in elementary and high school.

 

Please note that no decision, including Cesar's inclusion, is final until the State Board votes in March. We will be in contact with you soon with an update and may ask for your further assistance.

 

Si Se Puede!
