September 28, 2010
"Too many people and institutions all over the world think UC Irvine is a vile cesspool of Jew-hatred.

 A Claim of Pro-Islam Bias in Textbooks
By James C. McKinley, New York Times
September 22, 2010
"Some conservative members of the Texas Board of Education assert that the history books used in this state have a pro-Islamic bias, and they are upset about it. Never shy about wading into the culture wars, they voted for a resolution that would send a blunt message to textbook publishers: Do not present a pro-Islamic, anti-Christian version of history if you want to sell books in one of the nation's largest markets."
