BE PROUD is a campaign started by Texans who are fed up with the incessant, mean-spirited criticism and attacks on our public schools, most of which is routinely leveled by knuckleheads intentionally misleading the public with flawed and corrupted data. Our public schools are achieving extraordinary results in spite of seemingly overwhelming challenges, yet those who work in our schools rarely receive praise for their hard work and accomplishments.
Friends of Texas Public Schools is proud to host this group’s work, which is kicking off with a series of one-minute visualizations illustrating the real story about public school performance.
