The Issue
Texas schools, meant for learning, have become battlegrounds for ideology, with 800+ obscene books lingering in libraries and DEI/CRT dividing kids by race. In HD 106’s Frisco ISD and Little Elm districts, parents report graphic materials and teacher-encouraged walkouts disrupting class, while politicized curricula sideline math and reading—Denton County proficiency lags 10% below state averages amid activism spikes.
Rapid growth strains resources, but without accountability, children in Prosper and Aubrey face indoctrination over excellence, eroding parental trust and academic futures.
Supporting Argument
89th Session wins like SB 2’s universal school choice and DEI bans marked progress, but gaps endure: No dedicated Inspector General for probes, walkouts unpenalized, and SB 20’s AI porn ban lacks school-specific teeth. CRT persists via loopholes, with 20% of districts non-compliant per audits; teacher unions block removals, citing “diversity.”
Causes: Austin’s delayed criminalization—campaigning on rights but refusing felony exposure for groomers. Impacts: 15% reading drops post-pandemic, tied to disruptions; HD 106 loses talent as families homeschool or flee. Without choice enforcement and content bans, schools indoctrinate, not educate, costing $2 billion in lost productivity yearly.
What I Support
Schools educate—full stop. I’ll champion politics-free zones, empowering parents with choice and teeth for accountability, building on SB 2’s victory.
- Ban all DEI, CRT, and gender ideology instruction; immediate removal from curricula.
- Class-A misdemeanors for educators distributing pornographic materials to minors.
- Prohibit teacher-encouraged walkouts or activism during school hours, with strong penalties.
- Create Texas School Inspector General with subpoena power for misconduct probes.
- Guarantee full parental transparency on materials; universal school choice for every child, no caps.
Why This Matters
Indoctrination grooms HD 106 kids for division, not dreams—robbing Aubrey youth of STEM futures and Frisco families of safe havens. Parents work double shifts for excellence, only to battle ideology; unchecked, it widens gaps, with low-income and veteran kids hit hardest, perpetuating cycles of failure.
Rick Abraham’s Approach
Protecting children requires more than slogans—it requires enforcement. I will file the Protect Our Kids Act, strengthen oversight, and ensure state law is applied consistently when schools cross the line. By empowering parents, funding independent review, and demanding transparency, we can restore trust and protect children without compromise.
