We've already discussed the effect Texas has on textbook writing. The fact that some members on the board are creationist should not be at all surprising given what portion of the American populace is creationist. Consider the following:

1. The controversy was over history textbooks, not biology textbooks
2. The biology textbooks selected don't teach creationism or intelligent design.

Given that a large part of the controversy was about McLeroy trying to get anti-evolution changes into textbooks, I'm not sure how you discussing it makes that any less true.
