one paragraph from an article titled 'Our Internal Threats'

Neither is it encouraging in terms of intelligent educational design that textbook revisions in Texas are moving towards including some version of creationism and expressing reservations about evolution and climate change. The writers also intend to honor conservatives, among them Phyllis Schlafly, while downplaying the role of civil-rights leaders. And since California is financially strapped at the moment, these revised texts are likely to appear in its state’s schools as well. Equally disturbing, Texas mandates that Bible literacy be part of its schools’ curricula. If the current trend continues look for an up-dated version of the film, Inherit the Wind.

for those who didn't know - our public school books for the most part are written and published by people in Texas. really.
