Texas rejects allowing academics to fact-check public school textbooks –Texas education officials rejected allowing university experts fact-check textbooks approved for the state's 5.2 million public-school students. | 18 Nov 2015 | Top Texas education officials rejected Wednesday letting university experts fact-check textbooks approved for use in public-school classrooms statewide, instead reaffirming a vetting [sic] system that has helped spark years of ideological battles over how potentially thorny lessons in history and science are taught. The Board of Education [sic] approves textbooks in the nation's second-largest state and stood by its vetting process — despite a Houston-area mother recently complaining that a world geography book used by her son's ninth grade class referred to African slaves as “workers.” The publisher, McGraw-Hill Education, apologized and moved to make immediate edits.
