Friends,

Many thanks to Dan Quinn, Communications Director for the Texas Freedom Network, who has provided us with an up-to-date list of all the print and visual media news reports subsequent to yesterday's historic press conference, rally and Texas School Board of Education hearing on the proposed textbook by Jaime Riddle and Valarie Angle titled, MEXICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE.

This work by Dan, reflects the successful work of the REST Coalition.  Glad we're all in this together!
