Example Email Draft:
Dear member of the Texas State Board of Education,
I am writing to express my opinion on the social studies curriculum that will be voted on at the end of your meeting Friday, June 19th.
It is Vital that our students are taught true and correct history so they can be well informed citizens. We must use Texas Historical Founding Documents like Texas Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, and the Letters of William Barrett Travis from The Alamo as we teach about Texas.
When talking about American history we need to focus on original source documents from the founders like the the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, Jefferson‘s letter to the Danbury Baptist Church, George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, The Mayflower Compact, The Emancipation Proclamation, and The Gettysburg Address.
Texans are completely opposed to language on Sharia or Islamic content. We must not allow false narratives like "the Alamo is designed to resemble a Muslim mosque" to be repeated in any academic setting.
And last, but by no means least, we ask each of you to vote against ALL Democratic amendments.
Standing together you can send a clear message that Texans will not approve of attempts to water down our principles or re-imagine the unequivocal facts of American and Texas exceptionalism.
We appreciate all the work you do for the millions of Texas children and appreciate your willingness to support a true and factual social studies curriculum.
Sincerely,
[your name and contact information]
