WARNING! ⚠️ Steve Bannon and others “sounding alarms” about “Islamification” in Texas education need to get their facts straight, or stop being taken seriously. The Texas social studies TEKS revisions contain no pro-Islamic fiction or whitewashing. In fact, the SBOE-appointed content advisors (Republican majority), along with members appointed by Governor Greg Abbott who hold significant influence over the standards, have largely focused on producing content with a strong emphasis on religion in order to avoid backlash from grassroots organizations and parents. Republican-appointed content advisors have concentrated their debates on reducing overly positive portrayals of Islam and ensuring that such content, when included, is limited to the high school level. Do the research people. FACTS! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 The SBOE members let their guard down with the Texas Bluebonnet materials, where the actual Islamic content appears. It was passed under the premise of being religiously educational. This is where Miss Piggy Pickren voted in favor of content that parents argue is harmful, exposing children to material that is not age-appropriate and does not align with grade-level expectations. Yet Bannon and the donor hunger/loudest voices ignore this reality while platforming outrage that fuels hostility toward a group with NO real political power over the Texas curriculum. Texas Muslims are not controlling the SBOE or TEA; the Seven Mountain Mandate billionaires are. HEADS UP! Real influence lies with the Republican-majority board. If any Islamic content has been injected into the curriculum, it is because SBOE members allowed it. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Look at where the actual curriculum decisions happen: Texas Bluebonnet Learning, the state-developed reading materials approved by a majority of Republicans on the board. That is where Islamic references persist alongside extensive religious content from grades K-5.

Texas is going from 40 Data Centers to over 400 in the next 2 years - Texas could use 30% of US data center power demand by 2028 - By 2030 the Texas data centers could use 161 billion gallons of water per year - The 400 data centers will use the equivalent of 9 million homes in energy usage every year I don’t want to EVER hear the words climate change ever again
