This rally invitation
regards the controversial textbook authored by Jaime Riddle and Valarie Angle
titled, "Mexican American Heritage," that will get considered for
adoption by Texas' State Board of Education (SBOE) in their September meeting,
with a vote taking place at their November meeting. The rally takes
place on Tuesday, September 13th at 9:30AM in Austin, Texas at the William B.
Travis Building, 1701 North Congress.
It comes by way of Celina Moreno from MALDEF and includes several other related announcements as follows:
For ease, I've gone ahead and posted (see below) the joint statement and full MALC letter referenced in Celina's message. It's great to have great leadership on such matters in Texas.
Here's the Twitter hashtag that all should use for this protest: #RejectTheText
