From Daily kos: David, we just won a big victory against the right-wing bullies on the Texas State Board of Education. Yesterday, thanks to your support and pressure, McGraw-Hill Publishing removed climate change denial from their science textbooks. Pearson Education—the other textbook publisher submitting their books to the Texas Board of Education—had likewise removed climate change denial from their books last week. That means we have a total victory! Our friends at the Texas Freedom Network had asked us to get involved because this issue is a bigger than what happens in Texas public schools. Because of the size and influence of the Texas textbook market, books approved in Texas often end up in classrooms around the country. The 89,276 Daily Kos members who signed petitions to the textbook publishers were key to this campaign. As the Texas State Board of Education meets today, the Texas Freedom Network will be delivering your signatures to them, letting them know that the people stand behind the textbook publishers and science. We know the right-wing bullies will be back—so we must be vigilant. In the meantime, it is time to celebrate and share this graphic on Facebook to let your friends know the good news. Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos
