Some board members raised issues with textbooks presenting the scientific theory of evolution or asserting that the U.S. isn’t energy independent. Photo: allison dinner/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesThe Texas State Board of Education voted Friday to block science lessons published by eight companies from appearing on an influential statewide list of textbook providers, citing problems with the way they depicted climate change and evolution. Some of the 15 elected board members raised issues with a book from publisher Discovery Education because it discussed how the U.S. isn’t energy independent and lags behind other nations in oil reserves. A biology textbook from McGraw Hill won approval only after the publisher agreed to remove some graphics depicting human and primate evolution.
