Between chairing the board, campaigning, and
being the mom of a high school senior (who I will miss desperately
next year!), it has been a busy new year. I have been
campaigning diligently for my re-election bid. My opponent has
been busy too, so I need your help to win this race.

to endorse me, to print an information card about me, to ask for a
sign, or to make a donation to my campaign. Donations whether
large or small are needed and appreciated so I can purchase signs and
mailers.
I would like to continue serving our
children especially as we see what is happening with education at the
national level. Have you heard of President Obama’s Race to the
Top program? ...Please continue reading the

As the parent of three wonderful boys who were educated in public schools
and as a science educator who has taught children for almost 30 years , I
understand first-hand the need for conservative education leadership.
My
name is Barbara Cargill, and I am seeking re-election to the State Board of
Education (SBOE). This is my 8th year on the 15-member elected board.
The board establishes many of the policies and guidelines that affect your
child’s education. I am honored to have been appointed by the Governor
as Chair of the SBOE; it is my desire to continue being a true conservative
voice and voter for the parents, teachers, and students of District 8.
I
have been a strong advocate for your rights as parents and have been a
leader in standing against more top-down solutions for the challenges facing
local schools. As your SBOE member, I will continue to work for
academic rigor in the classroom and for the highest quality and most
accurate instructional materials. I will continue to fight against
liberal agendas that violate the values parents like you have instilled in
your children. I will continue to listen to employers who are begging
for employees who can write and who can meet the qualificiations that their
businesses require. I will continue to work on rigorous curriculum
standards to ensure that our students are prepared for college without
having to take costly remedial classes.
Emphasis on grammar, phonics, handwriting,
spelling, and composition skills as well as a focus on serious
literature in English classes,
A curriculum that teaches the fundamental skills
of mathematics like memorizing the multiplication/division tables and
discouraging the use of calculators in elementary school,
History curriculum standards that emphasize
patriotism, the free enterprise system, our Founding Fathers, founding
documents like the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence,
and American exceptionalism, (See
link to "Social Studies TEKS Fact Sheet" on left),
History textbooks that do not contain
anti-Christian / pro-Islam bias,
(See link to the SBOE Resolution on left.)
Health textbooks that are pro-life, that uphold
traditional definitions of marriage and family and abstinence-based sex
education,
Parents have the authority over their child's education, not the
government,
The English language must be a major focus in our schools for all
children,
Science textbooks that encourage students to
think, ask, and predict, have increased lab time, and that present
evolution as a theory, not as fact.
If you want these things for your children, then
re-elect Barbara Cargill!
