Texas Survey Shows Dissatisfaction With State School Board Curriculum Battles

By Howard M. Friedman

Texas Freedom Network on Tuesday released the results of a state-wide survey conducted in May that showed most Texans want an end to the divisive curriculum battles that have been a part of the operations of the Texas State Board of Education. (See prior posting.) 72% of likely voters want teachers and scholars, not politicians, to be responsible for writing curriculum standards. 68% of those surveyed say that separation of church and state is a key constitutional principle, but 49% want religion to have more influence in public schools. 55% oppose publicly funded vouchers that permit students to attend private religious schools. Wall of Separation also reports on the survey.
