The Texas office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) today called on the State Board of Education (SBOE) to reject proposed revisions to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) social studies standards that unfairly target the American Muslim community.
CAIR As the SBOE enters final discussions today ahead of a preliminary vote on the first reading of the new curriculum standards, CAIR-Texas is sounding the alarm on a pattern of bias and misinformation that has characterized this process. During Tuesday’s hearing, the board faced hours of testimony regarding proposed changes that tie Islam and Muslim historical figures disproportionately to terrorism while omitting significant contributions of the faith to world history and civilization.
Tuesday’s proceedings were marred by a series of hostile actions from state leadership:
-
State Senator Bob Hall testified that the curriculum was an attempt to “Islamify” schools yet failed to provide a single example of “Sharia law” when pressed by board members.
-
SBOE Member Brandon Hall weaponized political rhetoric to interrogate CAIR leadership on baseless terrorism links.
-
Member Julie Pickren and others reportedly exited the room during testimony from Muslim constituents, signaling a blatant disregard for the community’s concerns.
AMONG CAIR’s DEMANDS:
Students must be taught that ⅓ of all slaves in America were Muslims because of their faith
Removal of Columbus Day
Removal of Thanksgiving Day
Teaching that the Alamo was influenced by Islam and the builders of the Alamo did so to honor Islam
Addition to school curriculum of the many alleged Muslim contributions to Texas and the US
CAIR-Houston leader give a rambling speech to ignorant leftists about how Texas social studies/history books are whitewashed with misinformation about Muslims and their alleged great contributions to America.

Their contributions are miniscule. Their costs to Christian USA staggering.
Name one contribution they’ve made.
Instead, let’s ban Moslem immigration. CAIR is a terrorist organization, they should be eradicated.
