The Texas Department of State Health Services School Health program, the Centers for Disease Control “Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child” Coordinated School Health program, and the Texas Education Agency undermine parental influence in education as authorized in Texas Education Code 28.004. The Legislature should defund and abolish Texas Department of State Health Services’ School Health Program, the Texas School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), and repeal Texas Education Code 38.013, Texas Education Code 38.014, and Texas Administrative Code 102.1031. Texas law should remove and prohibit websites, marketing, training, and policy recommendations from Texas Department of State Health Services and Texas Education Agency Coordinated School Health programs to local schools, teachers, and local School Health Advisory Councils.
Until the legislature removes sex education from the curriculum of public schools, the State of Texas should adopt changes to Texas Education Code 28.004 requiring:
a) At least 50% of the SHAC appointees to be parents of students within the district and who are not themselves or related to district employees.
b) At least 50% of the parent officials to be present for any and all business to be conducted and be open to the public.
