Why this matters in Alamo Heights News
The proposed curriculum changes have significant implications for Alamo Heights students, who may soon be learning a version of U.S. history that has been criticized for being inaccurate and incomplete. As a community with a strong emphasis on education, Alamo Heights residents should be concerned about the potential impact on the quality of education in local schools. The inclusion of Bible verses in the curriculum also raises questions about the separation of church and state, and how this will be implemented in Alamo Heights schools. The SBOE's decision to move forward with the proposal despite criticism from some of its members, including the San Antonio representative, suggests that the final outcome is far from certain. Alamo Heights parents and educators will be watching closely as the proposal moves forward, and may need to mobilize to ensure that the curriculum changes do not compromise the education of local students.
