So it looks like several people from UT and some organizations from Austin will be going to the hearings on January 14 to testify, and I will be going with them to observe and support. LULAC is also involved, and a couple of other orgs according to the lady at UT.
Also, my current rep on the State Board of Education will not be running for reelection (thank all that's holy--this is "public schools are tools of perversion we are fighting a culture war!" Cynthia Dunbar) but she's endorsed a successor. But there's a Democrat who looks pretty good (she seems to be running mainly on the premise that we should all hate Dunbar, which is not the worst thing ever), an Independent I can't find anything about, and a Republican who looks pretty moderate. But it looks like people are actually starting to notice that the SBOE is corrupt and evil, so maybe things will be changing for the better.
Sorry to keep spamming you about this topic. Your post just reminded me how utterly fucked this all is, so I'm kind of up in arms about the whole thing.
