Texas Board Keeps Controversial Economics Textbook
The Texas State Board of Education voted 10 to 9 to keep Economics for Our Time on the approved list amid objections by Harlan and Slay. It also deleted four other titles, including two Spanish books, a German Deutsch text, and a French starter, estimating a three year cost of about 6.9 million dollars. Brownsville residents Conway and Wright protested a world history book claiming Catholic doctrine and a tadpole caption as evidence of atheism.
