Texas Rejects Letting Academics Vet Public School Textbooks – ABC News
Texas Board of Education has always been sort of a joke. There was the time when it was led by Creationist Don McLeroy, who did all he could to dismantle the teaching of proper science in the classroom. There was the time after he left when the Board approved textbooks suggesting Moses influenced the writing of the Constitution. There was the time the Board was led by evolution-doubter Barbara Cargill. And we’re currently at a time when the Board is led by Liberty University graduate Donna Bahorich, who thinks so highly of public schools that she home-schooled her own kids before enrolling them in a private school.
But now…. The Board just rejected a proposal that would allow experts to fact-check textbooks before they’re approved for use in the state’s public schools. Rather than allowing academics to intervene, the board voted unanimously to tweak its current system, mandating that review panels be made up of "at least a majority" of people with "sufficient content expertise and experience" as determined by the Texas education commissioner.

That's because we wouldn't want to disrupt the revisionist brainwashing narrative that the progressives in charge of the education system have been crafting for decades now………would we? ¬_¬
You mean the fact based one? Or the one where they try to sneak in creationist stuf… er… yeah that's the conservavies that don't like them there facts being in their learning books.

I'm really more thinking about the history books (being a lover of historical tomes), rather than the science ones. A book that talks about the creation of the universe in 6 days is called a Bible, and one that discusses the fact that the universe began some 13.8 Billion years ago is a science text book.
……at least as far as I'm concerned. 🙂
Right but these conservative wackos tried to put the bible parts in the science parts +West Kagle. ;O)

Yeah, that's what I'm on about. Keep the Bible out of my science textbook.
Keep the Bible out of public education totally unless it is a religion class that fairly teaches about all religions. I know a Christian theological ethics professor who taught separation of church and state in his ethics courses.
