Texas needs to be a leader in public education, not a laggard. I am running for the State Board of Education to improve the quality of education for the schoolchildren of Texas.

I am a professor of English and film at Texas State University, and part of my research includes how to teach more effectively. I have helped train two generations of public-school teachers.

The Texas State Board of Education develops curricula and approves textbooks for use in our public schools. Yet few on the board have a backgrounds in education.

Please support my campaign with your donation, and I will campaign vigorously to earn a seat on the board, and once there, I will work tirelessly for our children.
