We will have some wireless laptops for hands-on practice, but bring your own if you have one. Wi-Fi is free at Starbucks. RSVP to webmaster@tdwcc.org.

Texas Freedom Network has set up several rapid response teams. These are issue-specific advocacy teams that will give you targeted, up-to-the-minute information on the issues that matter most to you.

TFN’s rapid response teams are organized around 6 issue areas:

  • Reform the State Board of Education – supporting legislative reforms that would de-politicize the SBOE and put teachers and scholars in control of textbooks and curriculum decisions
  • Restore Responsible Sex Education — supporting comprehensive, evidence-based sex education in Texas schools
  • Protect Religious Freedom — opposing any actions by the government that would promote one faith over others and threaten the separation of church and state
  • Defend Civil Liberties — working against discrimination in public policy, especially policy targeting gay and lesbian Texans
  • Stand Up for Science – promoting sound science over ideology, including support for stem cell research and accurate instruction on evolution
  • Strengthen Public Schools — opposing private school voucher schemes and other attempts to undermine public education

Help Change Sex Ed in Texas
Join a School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)

Citizens from across the state are stepping up and joining with TFN to improve sex education in Texas schools. Joining a School Health Advisory Council is one way you can make that change at the local level. Every school district is required by Texas law to have a School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) made up of parents, concerned citizens, students, business owners and other district residents. These councils recommend to school boards and administrators what health education policies — including policies on sex education — the district should follow.
