The Texas State Board of Education has decided to screw up their kids' textbooks:The Texas State Board of Education recently voted to accept textbooks that (they demanded) contain incorrect information. In fact, the board members knew that the books were flawed, because almost every actual historian in every university in the state of Texas complained, wrote letters, spoke at the meetings, etc. The SBOE deliberately excluded those types of people (experts) from the review process. It won't be the Board members who get sued over this, it'll be individual school districts, costing the kids.

For what it's worth, as reported by the NCSE, there were some corrections made on the science side of things.
The Texas state board of education voted to adopt a slate of social studies textbooks for use in the state on November 21, 2014. Among the books approved were several textbooks that, after criticism from NCSE and its allies in the scientific, educational, and civil liberties communities, were revised by their publishers (including Pearson and McGraw-Hill) to eliminate misrepresentations of climate science.
Still... Bad, bad bad.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

They probably figured that Jesus would be too controversial. Look at it this way. Moses is a prophet in all Abrahamic religions. Jesus only gets two of them.
