Eagle Forum and Act! For America sent letters to Alabama State School Board members in Dec. 2013 complaining that the textbooks in question omitted references to Islam being spread by violence and don’t spend enough time on Christianity’s positives. Bice said he had the textbook committee re-examine the books in question, and that he read them as well, before ultimately determining that they met state standards. Betty Peters of Kinsey and Bell, from Montgomery, voted against approving the new books, and Bell introduced an amendment that removed the textbooks in question. That amendment failed. “I don’t mind at all the teaching of other religions,” Bell said after the meeting. “I just want it to be presented fairly, and I don’t think these books measure up to that standard.” facingislam.blogspot.ca/2014/01/alabama-board-of-ed-submits-school-kids.html
