First, let me tell you who you should be voting for in the SBOE District 14 race: Edra Bogle.
Dr. Bogle is a life-long educator and will bring the experience we need to the SBOE so that they can start making rational decisions again.
Rational decisions like having our school curriculum and textbooks based on SCIENCE.
Rational decisions like teaching Social Studies classes that teach about families in America—all kinds of families.
And, rational decisions like defending the idea of public education; an idea which is currently under attack.
The State Board of Education needs new leaders, leaders who will address textbook standards and raise them so that the children of Texas will be able to compete in the global economy.
The SBOE needs to improve their curriculum standards, Dr. Bogle is ready to serve.
Most importantly, the SBOE needs members who will be good stewards of the Permanent School Fund and press our state legislature to more responsibly fund our public schools.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bogle, as I am now living in Denton County.
She is a tough cookie who will fight hard for your children.
I could list all of Dr. Bogle's qualifications, but that would make this a really long post.
Instead, I invite you to visit her website, join her campaign, and while you're there, make a donation.

Listen, you can do something to prevent the State Board of Education from being run by a bunch of homophobic, anti-science, closed-minded people: Replace them with rational, responsible, and reasonable people—the Three R's--in District 14, that person is Dr. Edra Bogle.
...
I've known Edra Bogle for a few short years now, and have seen that time after time, she has selflessly given of herself for the tangible things that she believes in.
She has spent a lifetime devoted to education, and I can think of nobody better or more qualified for the position.
...
WhosPlayin whole-heartedly endorses Edra Bogle for State Board of Education and asks you to enthusiastically do the same on Election Day.
