Texans Fight Over Textbooks

"The Texas state Board of Education is in the process of adopting new science textbooks that will be used in public schools for the next decade. On Tuesday, the board held its first hearing for public comment on which textbooks should be adopted. Creationists came out in full force and demanded that "biblical truth," rather than evolution, be presented in the state's biology textbooks."



Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola and Dave Rubin of The Young Turks discuss the debates going on in Texas about what should be included in textbooks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
