they want it because they want Christianity to be taught and perceived to be true, and the one right way

Whether a religion is true or not touches upon history (Was Jesus a historical person?), but is mostly theology and philosophy. I don't think anybody wants to turn a history class into an course on apologetics. What I'm talking about is the interaction of that philosophy with history. If we agree that a decent history class encompasses a broad human experience, then you include religion. The Texas board wants to focus more on the positive aspects of Christianity. Is that OK with you?
