Dan Patrick’s advisory board is totally crazy calling pre-k godless. I am glad it was put out so everyone can see what these Tea Party Advisory Board members actually believe. They have remained silent on it since and won’t back it up now. Wonder why?? I’m a Republican who knows this was just crazy.
One, members of his advisory committee are not Dan Patrick. #2: Do you know the history of Pre-K and very early education?
