WHY is a woman who has contempt for public education on the Texas State Board of Education?

One wonders-do people who voted her in even pay attention to what she believes????

An Austin watchdog group has called for the removal of State Board of Education member Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, from the board’s committee that governs what is taught in public schools and which textbooks are adopted.

The Texas Freedom Network, a group that opposes religious influence on public education, is reacting to Dunbar’s newly published book, One Nation Under God, which refers to public education as "a subtly deceptive tool of perversion" and calls the establishment of public schools unconstitutional and "tyrannical."

The article notes that she didn't even have her own children attend public schools.

"Dunbar thinks our public schools are unconstitutional and tyrannical," Miller said. "Why on earth would she want to serve on the SBOE? More importantly, why would Texans want her to, either?"

I sure don't. Would be worth finding out if the TBOE woman Gail Lowe agrees with her fellow board member, since she directly represents us.

In her book, Dunbar writes that she believes public schools are unconstitutional because they undermine the scriptural authority of families to direct their children’s education. Her own children have been privately educated and home-schooled.

I don't have a beef with her believing that. Many people do and there's certainly a lot of room for varying opinion on whether you'd like to send your child to public school, home school or opt for a private one. BUT why in the world should my taxes pay for someone who is on the board that is ostensibly for PROMOTION and proper running of public schools who DESPISES PUBLIC EDUCATION!

Update: I forgot thiswomen is THIS nut that tried to say that Obama was plotting with terrorists (doo-dee-doo-doo)

AND she's also one of those behind (Gail Lowe is another) sending out email pushing the National Bible Curriculum in schools DESPITE Ector Schools getting sued over it.

Sort of makes the Texas Board of Education look like a laughing stock, eh? Would be funny if it wasn't out children's education that was at stake.
