AUSTIN – The State Board of Education today adopted a resolution calling on publishers to curtail references to Islam in future history books. Conservatives on the board said the resolution, which was approved on a 7-6 vote Friday, was needed to halt what they described as a creeping Middle Eastern influence in the nation's publishing industry. Citing history books no longer used in Texas schools, the resolution says those books devoted more lines of text to Islamic beliefs and practices than Christian beliefs and practices.
