I'm posting without reading all the comments, but I live in Texas and feel I know a bit more about this. The proposal put forth is for the textbooks to give equal footing to Christian references, since they found Islam references far outweighed them. The person who put forth the proposal feels that limiting how often Christianity is mentioned is no more fair than limiting how much any other religion is mentioned. Why should Christianity be banished from the history books? It was a part of much history, both for good and bad.
