The Texas State Board of Education traditionally has tremendous power in determining the content of textbooks not only for Texas students but for students across the U.S. Texas reviews and adapts textbook standards for the major subjects every six years, and because of the size of the state's market, textbook publishers often print books consistent with the Texas standards. However, the Texas State Board of Education is an elected body currently dominated by the Religious Right and intent on rewriting textbooks according to a right-wing world view and revisionist history.

Take action to make sure Texas' controversial standards do not impact the education of students in other states.
