The Texas Board of Education is in the news again today.  Juanita is tickled that they’ve found something awful – just awful – happening in textbooks.  They are sending out a “warning” to textbook publishers that might have something nice to say about non-white people of the world.

According to board member Ken Mercer, many world history books are rife with such “Muslim propaganda.”

“One of the books I reviewed has 120 lines referencing Christian beliefs, but has 248 lines referencing Muslim beliefs,” Mercer told WOAI News Radio.

“Okay,” Juanita smiles.  “Get a living image of Ole Ken sitting around counting lines of text.  Oh well, I suspect he had to find something to do with his time now that Christine O’Donnell took away his favorite pastime.”

“And Mexicans invading our borders has apparently taken a second seat to the new invasion that the radicals on our school board have found,” she continues in that voice that says Oh Crap, Something Nuts is Coming.

A draft of the resolution obtained by the Dallas Morning News reads, in part, that “diverse reviewers have repeatedly documented gross pro-Islamic, anti-Christian distortions in social studies texts,” including “sanitized definitions of ‘jihad’ that exclude religious intolerance or military aggression against non-Muslims … which undergirds worldwide Muslim terrorism.”

This is in part due, the resolution argues, to “Middle-Easterners” infiltrating the textbook market.

“Oh Dear God, you mean we let actual Middle-Easterners read?  That’s just unacceptable,” she smiles.  “What will they be invading next?  Our hairdressing market?  Barbeque?  I say draw a line in the sand.  Stop them from acting …. oh, dunno, American.”

“I personally would like the thank the Texas Board of Education for diddle squat,” she says.
