After months of protests from historians, teachers and lawmakers, the Texas State Board of Education this morning unanimously rejected a controversial 

Mexican-American studies textbook that would have been used in public schools.

About a dozen professors across Texas found hundreds of factual errors in the textbook. Many were also upset that the book, titled “Mexican-American Heritage,” promoted stereotypes of groups of people.

The book called Mexican people lazy and said Chicanos wanted to destroy society.
