Ken Mercer (l.) and Bill Ames (r.)
Tom Pauken, former Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas and former Reagan Administration official, endorsed Ken Mercer for his re-election to the Texas State Board of Education.
“Ken Mercer is a strong supporter of returning to the teaching of the basics at the elementary and secondary school levels in our Texas schools. We need to return Ken to the State Board of Education in order to continue this important work!”
Tom Pauken was a key leader in bringing the “Reagan Revolution” to Texas. The Conservative platform on education that began under Mr. Pauken’s leadership is the same platform that Ken Mercer fights for in Austin!
For example, in 2008 the lobby for the Far Left fought to keep true phonics out of Texas classrooms.
Conservative Ken Mercer kept his promise and voted for phonics to be required in the new English standards! This fall, for the first time in thirty years, Texas teachers started implementing full systematic and explicit phonics for the children of Texas!
In 2009, the political lobby of the Far Left did not want to allow Texas high school students the right to ask honest questions about the theories of evolution and global warming.
Ken Mercer again voted for the Conservative platform. The children of Texas will have the freedom to raise their hands and ask questions in the science classroom.
And now, in 2010, the Far Left wants to remove Veteran’s Day, Independence Day, the Liberty Bell, and Christmas from our American History books.
Ken Mercer is fighting for true and accurate American History that honors our Founding Fathers, Veterans, and traditions and promotes the benefits of the American Free Enterprise System!
Ken Mercer has stated:
“We must never forget the Conservative values that Ronald Reagan clearly articulated in the 1980′s.
Thank you, Tom Pauken, for bringing those key values to the conservative platform of our Party. In Texas, the vision of education championed by Reagan and Pauken is becoming a reality!”
