Clearly, the 2022 TEKS (K-12) Drafts’ micromanagement of curriculum includes the content of Marxist Revisionist Identity political instructional materials, with the resultant effect of de-emphasizing, diluting, or eliminating TEC 28.002(a)(1)(D) curriculum. 2022 TEKS (K-12) Drafts fail to provide Enhanced Content in a fair and balanced manner.

(K-8). 2022 TEKS (K-12) Drafts fail to introduce TEK 28.002(a)(1)(D) foundation curriculum. Students are not learning age-appropriate content for Texas and U.S. History, Government, Economics, and Geography, as required by TEC 28.002(a)(1)(D). 2022 TEKS (K-12) Drafts fail to present a “Spiraled Sequence” for American History and Government.

2022 TEKS (K-8) Drafts provide for confusing and incoherent instructional strands of global history over vast time eras, Prehistoric, Ancient Civilizations, and Non-Western Early Civilizations. Students are not learning fundamental concepts about Texas and U.S. history and foundational documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. 2022 TEKS (K-12) Drafts have no “Streamlined Identification” and inhibit accessibility and/or use by both teachers and students.

Due to geographical and time frame works period, 2022 TEKS Drafts is virtually devoid of Western Civilization foundations and do not contain content for Texas, U.S. History, Government Economy, and Geography in contravention of TEC 28.002(a)(1)(D). (See pages 38 - 51 of 2022 TEKS Draft, Work Group D.)
