``We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
(values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs
that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery
learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of
challenging the students fixed beliefs and undermining parental
authority.''

Then, they say

`We believe that because the Permanent School Fund is not paid by
taxpayers that the principle balance should be safeguarded''

I think that they meant "principal balance".

I'm not sure what they were teaching about (HOTS) but some of the teachings,
in a nutshell, are "don't believe what your parents taught you, believe us
instead", then they get students to stop believing established facts and
push revisionist history and other lies. They simply brainwash the sense
out of students and fill (indoctrinate, not educate) them with nonsense.
