CSCOPE. It’s not a mouthwash or a medical procedure. It’s a controversial series of lesson plans in many Texas schools. As is the case with any good scandal, its story is one of secrecy, betrayal, backroom deals and — of course — money. CSCOPE was sold by the Regional Education Service Centers to more than 850 Texas public, private and charter schools. The controversy surrounding it started with the content itself, including a lesson plan asking students if participants in the historic Boston Tea Party were participating in a terrorist activity. mystatesman/news/news/opinion/venable-cscope-is-a-classic-lesson-in-secrecy/nZJN7/?icmp=statesman_internallink_textlink_apr2013_statesmanstubtomystatesman_launch
