Texas-based New York Times reporter Michael Brick was in Austin in anticipation of a Board of Education vote on the political content of textbooks in Texas schools: “Texas School Board Set to Vote Textbook Revisions.” Typical of the Times' coverage of the matter, Brick found lots of “conservatives” on one side of the debate over Texas textbooks in Friday's story, but no countervailing liberals,…

ABC and NBC rushed to get stories onto the air Friday night delivering left-wing talking points against the new social studies curriculum guidelines passed by the Texas State Board of Education, as both portrayed conservative Christians as the enemies of accurate history.
