The House Mexican American Legislative Caucus is insisting the State Board of Education include Hispanics in the writing of a new English language arts and reading curriculum for Texas.
Tagged: border, Texas
The State Board of Education should not change the curriculum until the board’s subcommittee is expanded to include a border representative and until it considers expert advice from researchers familiar “with the challenges of language minority groups,” Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, said in a letter to board Chairman Don McLeroy of Bryan.
Gallego is chairman of the 43-member Mexican American Legislative Caucus.
Although the letter couches the request in a polite way, “We’re insisting,” said Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, legal counsel for the group.”*
