"Texas Board Measure Aims to Curb Islam in Textbooks"

So once again, Texas amazes me with its outrageous stupidity (sorry Professor Liss).  Their board of education's complaint is that the social studies texts contain "gross pro-Islamic, anti-Christian distortions."  I am extremely curious as to what these "diverse reviewers" have labeled pro-Islamic.  Could they be referring to the Crusades, when Christian soldiers invaded the holy land for two hundred years in an attempt to "free" it from the tyranny of the infidels?  I suppose if it mentions the thousands of innocent people that were slaughtered during these struggles and doesn't explain how they deserved it because they were tainting the holy land with their presence one could argue this is a "pro-Islamic" stance.  Another complaint from conservative board member Don McLeroy was that the world history books "contained less coverage of Christians than of Muslims."  Again, I itch to get my hands on this text to see if he literally went through and highlighted each word perhaps, then counted them? Or he's worried that the youth of Texas aren't fully indoctrinated enough during church each Sunday that the focus of their world history text should be their faith?  Shouldn't our goal be to broaden students' minds, stretch their horizons?  Unfortunately the board obviously hasn't read our equity text, "Doing Multicultural Education for Achievement and Equity", or really even read just the title - it speaks for itself against this type of educational whitewashing.  I pity the students who are locked in such an environment, and I hope that the teachers of Texas will unite against this type of Orwellian nonsense and demand texts with a fully cultural outlook.
