Marriage will be spelled out in Texas textbooks
By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY


The Texas State Board of Education last week asked publishers to change their health textbooks to describe marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Now critics are popping this question: Will the move make textbooks richer or poorer?

"We're not supposed to rewrite the books," says Mary Helen Berlanga, one of five Democrats on the 15-member board. On Friday it approved four books for high-schoolers after publishers agreed to rewrite descriptions of marriage, in one case changing the phrase "when two people marry" to "when a man and a woman marry."

Critics say the books also unwisely exclude information on pregnancy prevention and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Because Texas and California are the nation's biggest textbook buyers, the vote could affect health classes nationwide.
