"Candidates for certification to teach in public schools in Texas are being told that they will be held accountable for any 'heterosexist' leanings and must become agents working to change society, according to one candidate who was alarmed by the demands.
The applicant, who requested anonymity for fear of repercussions, told WND part of the teachings on multiculturalism required him to read several online postings about the issue inside the education industry.
One warns that 'teachers and administrators must be held accountable for practices deemed to be racist, sexist, heterosexist, classist, or in any other way discriminatory.' And a second warned that educators must not define education as the basic skills.
'How do we create a better world? How do we do more than simply survive? As educators, we must help people to become committed to social change,' the article demanded."
