An excellent Dallas Morning News editorial on this:

Let’s not pretend that the resolution on Islam that the Texas State Board of Education is considering is about balance in textbook coverage of the world’s major religions. While its final lines sound reasonable – “reject future prejudicial Social Studies submissions” that have “significant inequalities of coverage space-wise” or that reflect bias “by demonizing or lionizing” one religion over others – the rest of it is clearly not about fairness. It is about fear – specifically, fear of Muslims, including, presumably, the numerous Texas Muslims among the board’s constituents.

If the resolution were really motivated by concern for various religions, we might expect it to at least mention them. But it names only two traditions, Islam and Christianity, which it presupposes are in conflict. Its first line complains that “pro-Islamic/anti-Christian bias has tainted some past Texas Social Studies textbooks.” It later objects that “pro-Islamic/anti-Christian half-truths, selective disinformation, and false editorial stereotypes still roil some Social Studies textbooks nationwide.” In its rhetoric, the terms “pro-Islamic” and “anti-Christian” go hand in hand; whatever is “pro-Islamic” is by definition “anti-Christian.”
…
The resolution warns that “more such discriminatory treatment of religion may occur as Middle Easterners buy into the U.S. public school textbook oligopoly,” referring to the Dubai royal family’s investment in a major publisher. One might reasonably doubt such a correlation. Few would argue that Fox News is unduly sympathetic to Islam, even with a Saudi prince as the second largest shareholder of its parent company.

This charge is important, however, because it points to the motivation of the resolution’s chief proponent, failed school board candidate Randy Rives. Rives recently cautioned that dangerous outsiders might try to control America, using textbooks as their tool. “If you can control or influence our educational system, then you can start taking over the minds of our young people.” He predicted that problems would increase as “more and more Moslems’ [sic] money is pumped into buying textbooks.”

In short, this resolution appears to be motivated not by a desire for balanced treatment of Islam but by ill-founded anxiety about a Muslim takeover of America. It is the same sort of anti-Islamic sentiment that has manifested itself so often in recent weeks. It is driven by half-truths, selective disinformation and false editorial stereotypes.
