2024- Greg Abbott
2022 - former Governor Rick Perry
Did not respond to T4PE survey. Did not respond to ATPE survey. From website, two bullet points on public education: Ban Critical Race Theory, Better Public School Funding. From FB, on 12/30: "Children in Texas deserve the best education possible. Schools should be preparing the next generation of leaders, teaching them how to tackle problems and the challenges of the future, not spreading radical, far-left agenda.
I strongly support the recent passing of legislation to ban critical race theory, the Marxist ideology that divides children based on their skin color, and I will work to keep this and other anti-American teaching out of our classrooms."
Promoting lies that schools are providing students litter boxes for students who claim to be furries, this lie has been debunked and when pressed on the issue Gerdes cannot provide the name of a single school district that has done this.
