Oh Julie, any belief in your narrative is, regrettably, a symptom of naivety. You have failed to clarify why Ethnic Studies was not reviewed by the State Board in these almost three years of waiting, and you have consistently avoided defending either Ethnic Studies or Social Studies, instead choosing to feign affiliation for your own political gain. It is time for people to recognize that this moment serves Julie Pickren as a prop for her own interests. Historical background to my knowledge at the meetings reveals that in 2023, Pat Hardy called upon Aaron Kinsey, the SBOE chairman, to commence a review of the Ethnic Studies standards; however, Kinsey dismissed this crucial proposal despite a plethora of testimonies from several Native American tribes, including my own. Again, this issue has been on deck for too long. Since January 2023, Pickren, having just won her position, did not challenge “her friend,” the chairman, and instead relied on piggybacking off information from other board members to make herself look relevant. My attendance at those meetings has provided me with firsthand insight into the underlying issues at play. Here is more about Ethnic Studies factual information: Pickren’s alliances with TPPF seek to WHITEWASH history by obscuring the truth about the suffering of Native Americans at the hands of both their own people and the white settlers of the time. These events mentioned by Pickren did occur, and the focus should be on providing a more accurate representation through genuine scholarship, as this is what the current instructional materials lack—specifically, how the materials are taught to students. Additionally, the discussion Pickren insisted on toward the end of the meeting was not pertinent to the agenda item, but after 20 minutes of discussion between lawyers and parliamentarians, the rules for the meeting allowed for the conversation to be on record; however, such discussions, along with any necessary modifications of instructional materials, should have been incorporated into the HQIM rubric and, as I stated before, Ethnic Studies should have been a subject for review in 2023 when Aaron Kinsey was appointed by Greg Abbott to be the chairman of the board. Furthermore, the content that Julie Pickren is referring to was not in the course standards—it came from suggested instructional material for innovative courses. Additionally, Dr. Ellis provided an amendment to remove this instructional material as a recommended instructional resource for the course with the intention of giving board members more time to verify the content. Ellis's amendment garnered majority support; however, it is crucial to note that Pickren chose to abstain from voting either in favor of or against the removal of the instructional materials; what she is posting about is not true. This absence of a clear stance exemplifies a significant hesitation in addressing the core issue of educational content. The two dissenting votes, cast by LJ Frances and Brandon Hall, were against Ellis's proposal to remove the instructional materials with a conditional approval of the removal of the ABC database instructional materials. Essentially, this amendment is aimed to navigate through the HQIM process without solidifying approval for any instructional content not under SBOE approval, suggesting an underlying commitment to preventing the approval of instructional materials that do not align with the board's process of selecting materials. Thus, despite a majority vote, the overall ambiguity surrounding Pickren's opposition highlights the need for educated candidates who truly understand the history behind Ethnic Studies as well as the implications of making the right decisions for the 5.5 Billion Texas students. The vote in favor of the removal of the instructional materials was 11 in favor and 2 against the removal of the instructional materials. Pickren and her friends, LJ Frances and Hall, exemplify the critical consequences of electing individuals lacking a strong educational background and collaborative skills, which have exacerbated a long-standing rift within the State Board since their election; this situation underscores the urgent need for informed voters capable of addressing the fundamentally flawed and challenging issues plaguing our education system.

Stop allowing the rhetoric of people like Julie Pickren to persuade your knowledge and feelings. app.uslege.ai/share/99a49521… @Julie4TX Liar, Liar!

When I interviewed Chris Leonard about his fantastic book Kochland he told me that school privatization was a particular passion of the Kochs--a passion that courses through this story nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/po…

8. We still don't know exactly who funded these fraudulent mailers, but the trail appears to lead back to Republican circles in Dallas, where similar events have occurred in recent years.

MAGA cries—“ help, help, Democrats are trying to TRANS my kids, they are making our kids gay—the Democrats are heretics”‼️ ALL WHILE FAILING TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Lady MAGA would be in tears … Welp…Chicken Littles, Texas LAW prohibits medical procedures and treatments intended to transition a minor’s biological sex or affirm a perception of sex inconsistent with biological sex (as determined by sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles). It was Senate Bill 14 (88th Legislature, 2023), signed by Governor Greg Abbott and effective September 1, 2023. It is CODIFIED at Texas Health and Safety Code § 161.702. A physician or health care provider may not knowingly, for the purpose of transitioning or affirming a gender identity inconsistent with biological sex: 🧬Perform sterilizing surgeries (including castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty, or vaginoplasty). 🧬Perform a mastectomy. 🧬Provide, prescribe, administer, or dispense puberty-blocking drugs to stop or delay normal puberty, or supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females or estrogen to males (drugs that induce transient or permanent infertility). 🧬Remove otherwise healthy or non-diseased body parts or tissue. THIS IS YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTY: This is the same MAGA who is not in the least bothered, by the once moral majority, being infiltrated by deviants like Scott Presler or Corey DeAngelis (Seth Rose); both GAY PORN STARS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. Scott Presler went so far as to make his porn in a Virginia Beach office shared by the Republican Party of Virginia and the RNC (Republican National Committee). Not to mention the preexisting gays, pedophiles and rapists already within the GOP, that ARE NOT ROOTED out by your vote along party lines. CD: them.us/story/corey-deangeli… SP: thedailybeast.com/meet-the-d… I post the photos (originally found on X) to draw you a picture of WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS molding you, your families, infiltrating your minds and you do it with a smile on your face—fighting to have your photos taken with him and listen to them at rally’s and convention. SO SHUT-UP MY FELLOW REPUBLICANS in pretending it’s the Democrats who are coming for your children, when it’s YOU who has led yourselves into the slow fade of hedonism, within the GOP and your homes. Romans 1:24–28

If you’re not man enough to debate, you’re not man enough to lead.

Furries are so early 2000… who is running the damn geriatric PR campaign for the GOP?

This propaganda campaign will be used to claim Abbott’s fake victory. My sources are reporting that Greg Abbott has all the electronic systems owned by his mega-donors ready to work for him. They are going to turn DC bluer but will keep Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick in position until they find their next chosen pawns. Gina wins by the votes and so does Talarico, but she is not the chosen one by the cartel of billionaires running the state and nation. Let that sink in. The next legislative session will wake up the masses.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has sued the U.S. Department of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over withheld unredacted Epstein investigative files tied to alleged crimes at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch near Stanley, New Mexico.

This is your Texas Republican Party—asking for your vote to SAVE TEXAS, when it’s been the GOP in charge for 30 years‼️ This is your Republican Party—-PROPPING UP SEXUAL DEVIANTS. The same GOP low IQ morons who groomed, supported and propped up Tony Gonzales to the death of a young woman, ALSO are supporting and propping up Ken Paxton. THE SAME PEOPLE, yet this party never learns its LESSON. I remember pleading with my fellow Republicans to not elect Tony Gonzales for things “I” knew as fact; for things he was already doing since before he worked in Marco Rubio’s office, but they were stuck in the glamour of the idea—ohhh, “but Tony already knew where the bathrooms in Congress were” they said. You see, Tony Gonzales was a DoD legislative fellowship in Rubio’s office (~2016–2018) and later garnered Rubio’s full campaign support. I was the one that completed and sent in the “Hatch Act” violation paperwork on Gonzales, that everyone now admits was a FACT and VIOLATION, but nobody cares to enforce. It’s never enforced when money is involved and high level players (Marco Rubio) want their way. ➡️In early 2026, reporting (including texts) detailed the relationship and explicit messages. Santos-Aviles died by suicide in September 2025 after setting herself on fire. ➡️The nonpartisan Office of Congressional Conduct found “substantial reason to believe” he engaged in the relationship and recommended further review. The House Ethics Committee opened an investigative subcommittee into possible sexual misconduct and favoritism. ➡️On March 4, 2026, Gonzales admitted the affair on a podcast, saying he had “a lapse in judgment.” He later dropped his reelection bid (after a primary that forced a runoff against Brandon Herrera) amid pressure from GOP leadership. He resigned from Congress effective April 14, 2026. The Ethics Committee’s jurisdiction ended with his resignation, so no final findings were issued ➡️ second former staffer, MALINDA KELLER PENNELL, also alleged sexually explicit messages from 2020 (during his campaign). There were bipartisan calls for resignation or expulsion Has the GOP learned their lesson?? NO—-they plan on sending another MANWHORE to get Honey Potted in the halls of Congress. Russia and China must be so bored with the choices of bait we send them. You know who never endorsed Sexual Deviants Tony Gonzales OR Ken Paxton??? The Righteous JOHN CORNYN‼️‼️‼️

Antisemitism in Texas schools? HISD is operationally under the control of Abbott & Morath. Abbott's office = notified (see below). @HoustonISD HR & Chief Legal Counsel = notified. Rather than investigate, HISD is threatening to Terminate the Whistleblower. @PinOakMS

A PAC titled LONESTAR, but based in Dublin, OHIO is fueling the Texas Culture Wars. Lonestar PAC is actually Lonestar Liberty PAC, HEADED up by Robert Phillips III (also known as Rob Phillips) who is the President of AxCapital (Ax Capital Compliance), a Dublin, Ohio-based political compliance firm that specializes in campaign finance accounting, FEC/state filings, reporting, and related back-office work for Republican candidates, campaigns, and PACs. PHILLIPS also serves as the official treasurer (and often custodian of records) for many PACs and committees, including Lone Star Liberty PAC (the pro-Ken Paxton super PAC). Currently LONESTAR PAC has raised roughly $28 million through late 2026 (including major contributions such as $10 million from ELON MUSK, funds from the Senate Leadership Fund, and other large donors). Public-facing spokespeople have included Gregg Keller (Atlas Strategy Group; identified as spokesman for the PAC) and Sam Cooper. Lone Star Liberty PAC does not prominently list a separate “president” or “director” in filings or major reporting. Interesting Elon would not just donate the his own PAC; AMERICA PAC—-maybe it’s the Trans angle in memory of Elons own son, Xavier—-who Elon financed his gender affirming care. @JohnCornyn @Jon_RosenthalTX @jamestalarico @NathanForTexas

Nothing to see here, just more TX GOP candidates campaigning on the fake mailer, even though we all know it’s a GOP op. These 3 are running for TX SBOE & they’re liars or have zero media literacy skills. Heaven help TX schools if they win.@Julie4TX @Nelsontiffanyb @victoria4tx

Sounds like the start of a movie villain's big reveal. 🥴 Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney's MUSK "plays like equal parts dystopian sci-fi and outright horror flick" (Rolling Stone) and is now playing in theaters. Get your tickets now before it's gone! bit.ly/4ArO3ZA

Oh great.. They hired a group to find our next state Ed Commissioner that has a background in Charter schools and globalist Teach for America. Shocker... Time to make our State Board of Ed voted in by the people, not appointed. #moleg

In 1994, Bush’s campaign against Ann Richards ran a whisper campaign with anonymous church-parking-lot flyers showing two men kissing and claiming “This is what Ann Richards wants to teach your children.” Today, fake “Texas Transgender Student Union” mailers (denied by the real group TENT, sent from a UPS box via a fresh Wyoming LLC) coach kids on hiding gender issues from parents and getting hormones out of state. Same tactic: stealth materials on sexuality and kids, never owned by a real organization, timed for politics.
