Texas Freedom Network
The Texas Freedom Network (TFN) is a Texas organization which describes its goals as protecting religious freedom, defending civil liberties, and strengthening public schools in the state. It works to counter the activities of the Christian right. Founded in 1996 by Cecile Richards, by 2004 it had 19,000 members.〔(Smoot Steps Down ), Rachel Proctor May, The Austin Chronicle, October 15, 2004〕
==Leadership and direction==
Under Richards' leadership the organization focused mainly on education, but under the leadership of Samantha Smoot (1998-2004) it broadened its focus to include hate crimes and gay rights.〔 As of February 2009, Kathy Miller is the president.〔(Study: Texas schools flunking sex ed ), Laura Heinauer, Salt Lake City Tribune, 25 February 2009〕
The TFN has opposed the attempts of Don McLeroy and other religious conservatives on the Texas State Board of Education to mandate that Texas high schools offer Bible classes and change history textbook standards, arguing that many of the proposed changes violate religious freedom and the separation of church and state. TFN has also closely followed the activities of the Board of Education and activists on other education issues, such as the teaching of evolution in public schools.
