I've just finished reading about the issue through Google. That's easy enough to do.
What is hard to do is to find an unbiased view. More often than not, you find cherry picked views that show the writers own bias. The total effect is similar to someone trying to defend themselves from the question “Have you stopped beating you wife?”
The fact is that there was a little bias in the old textbooks, and they were trying to prevent bias in future textbooks. Isn’t the elimination of bias good? Not, apparently, if it gets in the way certain ideological passions.
