Texas School Board Decision Could Affect Arizona Schools

    A vote taking place on Wednesday could have an impact on the way children in Arizona learn.

    The Texas Board of Education will vote on what can be included in social studies books.

    Texas buys so many text books that publishers often tailor the material of the books to the approval of the board, a group of Christian conservatives - which means the content doesn't get a stamp of approval from all parents.

    On May 15, FOX News Channel will show an hour long special on education.

    FOX 10's Alexis DelChiaro and Rick D'Amico talked with FOX News Contributor Tucker Carlson about the issue.
