(Woodlands.) Please make a phone call today to support Mexican American Studies.

by Tony D on 01/22/14

Please call your Texas State Board of Education Representative for the Woodlands Barbara Cargill (R) (512) 463-9007 .

Tell her to that the SBOE must move Mexican American Courses from the "Wish List" and put it in the "To Do" list.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014, in Austin, Texas the Texas State Board of Education will vote on which courses will get committees and a timeline to become official curricullums.

Tell her that Mexican American Studies must be one of them. Those courses will be approved one year from now as an OPTION at all Texas Schools.

Here are just a few reasons why Mexican American Courses are needed:

1.) Of the 4.9 million students in Texas 51% are Hispanic.
2.) When Tucson Unified School District implemented Mexican American Studies the graduation rates rose to 93%
3.) We have waited long enough. The time is now.
