Texas Education Board votes for reduced Islam references in textbooks
2010-09-25
Ay Pee summarized:
The Texas Board of Education took a non-binding vote recommending that references to Islam be reduced in textbooks on world history in response to concerns by social conservative board members. The resolution concluded with a warning to publishers that "State Board of Education will look to reject future prejudicial social studies submissions that continue to offend Texas law with respect to treatment of the world's major religious groups by significant inequalities of coverage space-wise and by demonizing or lionizing one or more of them over others."

#1  Why is it called a social conservative move to order equal outcome of space and spin?
I'd order that Islam be given more space and the space be used to warn the students about its dangers in historical context.
