Resolution against pro-Islamic textbooks goes before Texas Board of Education today

AUSTIN – The State Board of Education today will consider a resolution calling on publishers to focus more on Christianity and less on Islam in new world history textbooks that will be drafted over the next few years. Members of the board's social conservative bloc asked for the resolution after an unsuccessful candidate for a board seat called on the panel to head off any bias against Christians in new social studies books. Some contend that "Middle Easterners" are increasingly buying into companies that publish textbooks.  Stutz reports: http://dallasne.ws/axINmx
