We do if TX is using federal tax dollars to promote a religion, or to discriminate against other religions.
Which is the reason TX's standards get national & sometimes international attention, and CA's standards, which are just as specific and just as likely to push its values onto other states, are only mentioned in passing when the debates go around. CA's standards are pushing an ideology; they're not pushing a specific religion's beliefs.
However, whether the books in question are being changed in order to promote Christianity, or if they actually had a pro-Islam bias (which I very much doubt) isn't something that can be established based on a few fragments or quotes. We can debate the what-ifs; we can't reach any useful conclusions about what's going on with these specific books.
