A new poll shows that voters in Texas want education experts—not the state school board—to make decisions about public school curriculum standards and the content of textbooks. Only 19 percent think elected school board members should decide the curriculum, while 72 percent want the curriculum standards to be set by teachers and scholars. When it comes to parents, 78 percent want teachers and scholars to set the standards, with 69 percent feeling strongly about the issue. (Click on image for larger view.)
