Campaign websiteBrooks' campaign website stated the following:Education Priorities“Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country.  [To] enable him to know and to appreciate the value of our free institutions, by contrasting them with those of other countries; and [to understand] the means of preserving his rights.” — Noah WebsterUnfortunately, Texas education has shifted away from real knowledge in literature, mathematics, science, and history and moved toward a government-centered system that overrides families, local communities, and the protections of both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.Our children deserve better than a centralized model that treats them as data points instead of human beings formed through truth, wisdom, and authentic teaching.Priority 1 - Restore teacher autonomy and authority, classroom discipline, competition, traditional instructional methodology and pedagogy, and hardback textbooks for all foundational curriculum courses for grades Pre-K-12.Priority 2 - Decentralize control to limit government interference, and roll back unconstitutional mandates placed on independent school districts.Priority 3 - Save neighborhood schools from closing by limiting charter school expansion.Priority 4 - Propose the Texas state minimum salary range for teachers be increased to $60,000 - $75,040 (compared to $33,960 - $54,540) – without attaching government strings.Priority 5 - Protect data privacy rights for students, parents, and teachers.Priority 6 - Propose revisions of detrimental and unconstitutional educational bills, including Texas House Bill 1842 (84th Legislature).Priority 7 - Restore the State Board of Education’s statutory authority.Priority 8 - Support the sovereignty of homeschool and private schools and make government interference unlawful.Affordability and Safety Protections for Texans“Life and liberty are secure only so long as the right of property is secure. The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things.”— Principles of LibertyEvelyn Brooks believes every Texan deserves the freedom to build a stable future without being crushed by rising costs. She supports permanent property tax relief; job growth for every age group; the expansion of structured access to the Texas Small Business Administration that encourages entrepreneur training, innovation, and investment opportunities; small business expansion with fewer required mandates; and affordable healthcare and life-saving prescriptions.Brooks also supports expanding the rights and protections of local farmers and ranchers so they can help meet the demand for affordable, healthy food, enabling all Texans to have access to quality nutrition. No Texan should lose a home due to rising property taxes. In a little more than a generation, property taxes have increased by 330% percent, making it almost impossible for younger Texans to realize the American dream of homeownership, while putting undue pressure on those who already own. Renters and businesses are often overlooked, but they also carry too great a burden.Evelyn’s vision is clear: a Texas where families can afford to live, work, raise children, and retire — and where the American dream is achievable again for every Texan.Priority 1 - Reduce the amount local governments can raise property taxes and remove local government's ability to raise unlimited property taxes on new properties.     Priority 2 - Give voters direct approval of any proposed property tax increases above 0%. Enact common-sense debt limits on local governments, while requiring a plan to eliminate debt before adding more.Priority 3 - Use state and local budget surpluses to buydown property tax rates and redesign Texas’ sales tax base in a way it remains competitive.Priority 4 - Create a watchdog committee to monitor commercial transactions involving the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).Priority 5 - Protect the priority of individual investors’ security entitlements against institutions.Priority 6 - Protect Texans’ investment securities, including IRA and 401(k) accounts.Priority 7 - Fight against the adoption of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and safeguard legal codes from future introduction of a CBDC.Priority 8 - Protect the rights of Texans during a public health emergency, uphold vaccine choice, and judiciously approach the Public-Health Emergency Authority Act (PHEAA).Priority 9 - Protect Texas jobs from being eliminated by Artificial Intelligence, while utilizing proactive societal solutions.Priority 10 - Increase domestic oil and natural gas production, reduce blanketed mandates placed on the oil and gas industry, and incentivize reliable, renewable energy production.Priority 11 - Shift healthcare priorities to wellness and prevention and set limits on how much emergency rooms, hospitals, and Big Pharma can charge Texans.Priority 12 - Promote shorter supply chains and local food production by providing easier pathways between consumers and producers.Priority 13 - Incentivize and revitalize organic and safe farming and ranching free from agricultural chemicals and genetically engineered crops.Priority 14 - Eliminate foreign ownership of farmland and ranchland and remove general regulatory overreach of Texas farmers and ranchers.Priority 15 - Incentivize innovations in deep-well drilling for water needs and stop expansion of seed clouding and geoengineering.Protect the Border from Invasion“A constitution should be structured to permanently protect the people from the human frailties of their rulers. A free people will not survive unless they stay strong.”— Principles of LibertyEvelyn Brooks believes a secure border is essential to protecting Texas families, safeguarding our economy, and preserving the U.S. and Texas Constitutions. She will strengthen law enforcement and provide the tools and support to stop cartels, human traffickers, criminals, and the exploitation of our precious children.Priority 1 - Increase deportations for illegal immigrants who are dangerous offenders or convicted of crimes.Priority 2 - Protect unaccompanied migrant children from exploitation in unsafe adult facilities, shelters, or unvetted sponsor homes, while supporting family integrity when possible.Priority 3 - Improve communication with countries receiving their citizens back.Priority 4 - Preserve the legal immigration process, while stopping illegal immigration and focusing on stronger coordination between federal, state, and local agencies.Priority 5 - Reject the unconstitutional Islamic invasion entangling alliances within Texas, including self-governing Islamic zones and the introduction of Sharia law.— Evelyn Brooks' campaign website (January 14, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

How can parents have the ultimate authority in their child’s education?

Parents need to know their Parental Rights and Responsibilities written in the Texas Education Code, Chapter 26. I believe there must be a partnership between parents, teachers, schools and trustees in order to educate our children. This happens when parents are encouraged to actively participate in creating and implementing educational programs for their children.

Texas Education Code - Ch. 26 Parental Rights and Responsibilities

Why do you support school choice? Doesn’t it take away money from our public schools?

Public charter schools receive no local revenue. 100% of charter school funding comes from state sources. I believe that parents should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child. High-performing public charter schools can help close the learning gap that so many Black, Hispanic, ESL and economically disadvantaged students suffer from. Educational options benefit the learning needs of ALL students.

What is the harm of students being taught Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE)?

CSE is designed to prepare children for sex and risky sexual behaviors, not to decrease STD’s and teen pregnancy. It’s a license to explore all aspects of erotica and sexuality. There is a reason why parents teach their children about sex indirectly and with modesty; to protect and safekeep their innocence. Once a child’s innocence is taken away, it is nearly impossible to be found again. I believe that knowledge of sex and sexuality is not an Essential Knowledge and Skill that will contribute to the success of a child’s life. It is my hope that one day it will be against the law to teach CSE anywhere in the United States. It purposely oversexualizes our children as young as kindergarten. I will do all that I can do to protect and defend the innocence, mind and health of all children from harmful instructional materials, library books, and curriculum. CSE oversteps parental rights.

What is the harm of students being taught Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?

At the heart of SEL are common questions: What is the role of education? How should schools define success? What does good character look like? Who should be allowed to define it? This is a completely new vision for education where the focus is to shift a child’s values in order to transform the culture, our American culture. The goal of SEL is to transform children’s core values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors through mind control techniques, propaganda, role-playing, self-criticism, finger pointing, isolation, repetitive phrases & music, and Us vs. Them. These SEL lessons are interwoven throughout every subject content taught in school, and includes Critical Race Theory and Comprehensive Sex Ed.

The former public education system taught children the knowledge and skills necessary to read, write, compute, problem-solve, think critically, and communicate across all subject areas, in preparing students to continue to learn in postsecondary educational, training, or employment settings. Modern day public education educates the “Whole Child”- mind, body, and soul; the job of parents and guardians. Further, schools that teach SEL’s are required to collect data on children without parental consent through surveys and evaluations. Essentially, surveys and evaluations have taken over knowledge-based content and skills. I encourage you to research this further and teach others.

Did Texas ban Common Core?

Common Core is still alive in our Texas public schools under the name, Texas College and Career Readiness Standards. Common Core is a theory that is licensed as a product, but marketed as a standard. Standards can be tested using scientific research data that are cognitively, developmentally, and appropriate for children. Each year in school is a stepping stone that builds a concrete base for student learning. Curriculum is developed from standards. Common Core on the other hand is a theory that cannot be tested using scientific research. It took approximately six months to develop Common Core before it was sent out to public schools nationwide and marketed as “standards”. Common Core marked the beginning of the nationalization of our education system. These new standards in education have reduced critical thinking ability, is nonchallenging, removed phonics, and has set our children back significantly. Common Core began with English and Math standards, and have now taken over our history standards. Research to learn more about this.
