I would like to think that a majority of Texans, even if they are Christian, see the Crusaders as "invaders" and "violent attackers". That was the only example that the article gave of objectionable material, and I'd have a tough time disagreeing with that assessment of the Crusaders.
History isn't science - there's always going to be interpretation and cultural filtering. The board of education should be looking for a balanced textbook for their students, not necessarily one that just reaffirms their values.
