The Texas State Board of Education is nixing seven proposed eighth-grade science textbooks that include information on climate change. The 15-member board rejected the books a week ago, mainly because they included supposed solutions for climate change, or because they were from a publisher with an Environmental, Social, and Governance policy. A dozen textbooks were under consideration, and the board accepted the other five for inclusion on a list of texts the state may adopt for use.
