State senator Alan Hays filed a bill recently (SB 1018: Instructional Materials for K-12 Public Education) that says, in part:
Each district school board shall ensure that all instructional materials used in the classroom meet the following criteria:
b. Provide a noninflammatory, objective, and balanced viewpoint on issues
Anyone want to take a guess as to what Hays’ motivation is?
An attempt to give parents a voice against Common Core’s Islamic doctrinal preference could very well be what he is shooting for. This is becoming a problem around country as parents recognize that Islamic ideology comes to dominate, not assimilate.

After looking up Hays’s party affiliation*, I suspect his definition of “balance” comes from the same dictionary used by the False Noise network.
*Do you need to ask?
