The Washington Monthly‘s January issue has a cover story on the Texas SBOE, “Revisionaries: How a group of Texas conservatives is rewriting your kids’ textbooks.” The article focuses on Board member—and former chairman—Don McLeroy, but it mentions SBOE10′s incumbent Board member in passing:

Among the new cadre were some fiery ideologues; in her self-published book, Cynthia Dunbar of Richmond rails against public education, which she dubs “tyrannical” and a “tool of perversion,” and says sending kids to public school is like “throwing them into the enemy’s flames.” (More recently, she has accused Barack Obama of being a terrorist sympathizer and suggested he wants America to be attacked so he can declare martial law.)

That an insider Washington publication gives our Board of Education such an extensive treatment is a testament to its importance far beyond Texas.
