The rejection of this textbook is a major win for Conservatives against the atni-America enviro activists.

Dozens of Conservatives presented their issues to the Texas State Board of Education on September 6 and November 8.

Since Texas (with California) is the leading purchaser of public school textbooks in the country, and therefore often sets the tone for other states' evaluations, the rejection of this biased textbook has national implications as well.

Most publishers of textbooks will scrap plans for a book that Texas will not buy. That pesky "free-enterprise" system means they won't make any money just selling a book to other states.

I just wish that more parents would take some time between racing their kids to soccer games to discover out the crap that's being taught to their kids.

The rainbow-enviro-leftists have thrown the cat in the well a long time ago and it's going to be quite a task removing their putrid filth.

America is anti-American anymore. Do you think corporate monopolies and conglomerates are pro-American?

Democrat board member Mary Helen Berlanga of Corpus Christi started the ball rolling by claiming that the Board's rejection amounted to "censorship". Editorials and letters to editors around the state have picked up on this theme.
"Censorship?" Well, yes, that is the point. You wouldn't expect to have "adult" videos shown in government schools, and you shouldn't expect to find anticonservative material there, either.
