We demand the State Legislature pass a law prohibiting all social emotional learning, health education, and any non-academic subject in any public school in any grade whatsoever, or disseminating or permitting the dissemination by any party of any material regarding the same. All school districts, individual schools, or charter schools are prohibited from contracting with or making any payment to any third party for material concerning any of the above topics.
Until this prohibition goes into effect, all health education must be available for public inspection and shall be recommended by the School Health Advisory Council to the district school board and voted on by the district school board. Texas should codify the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) into Texas law to protect the rights of parents, students and K-12 school officials applied to the programs of Texas Education Agency (TEA), local school districts, or other recipient of funds under any program funded by tax dollars. Before a student may be provided with social emotional learning, health education, any survey, or any non-academic subject, the district must obtain the written consent of the student’s parent or guardian (Opt-In Status).
