Texas School Board Reduces Islam in Textbooks; Says Social Studies Texts Have Been Pro-Islamic

The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (September 27, 2010) that the Texas State School Board passed a resolution on September 24, asking textbook publishers to limit references to Islam.

"Diverse reviewers have repeatedly documented gross pro-Islamic, anti-Christian distortions in social studies texts," read a preliminary draft of the resolution.

Board members said they want all religions to be covered equally and promised to reject submissions from publishers if their textbook favors one religion.

Critics say the board's resolution discriminates against Islam.
