So you see, this notion that the Crusades were bad is a recent phenomenon.
Kenny, my interpretation of what is going on in Texas is that the vast majority of the population is conservative; in the last (I'm guessing) twenty years liberals have intruded their views into the textbooks, and now the conservatives are fighting back, attempting to restore the viewpoint held by the vast Texas majority.
I definitely don't see this as a conservative minority attempting to impose its views on a liberal majority.

Well, as has been said several times, we can't really know without looking at the specifics, but based on what I am reading, it sounds like there is a Christian Agenda being pushed. Now certainly I don't know that specifically, but others (that I trust) are saying that.
I've also said this numerous times. Education should not be about Liberal or Conservative or Religious, it should be about the unbiased truth as best we know it and should be taught in such a way as to encourage the student to ask questions, to learn to think and to learn how to get to the truth, the facts or any matter.
