| Abstract | As the controversy over religion in the classroom increases, the presence of religious influences and foundations in history has become almost non-existent in textbooks, and classic literature is dropped in favor of reading texts that are "dumbed down" by readability formulas, that avoid anything that might offend influential interest groups, and that strive too hard to be cheerful, patriotic, multiethnic, nonsexist, and noncontroversial. Expressing dismay about the blandness of recent textbooks, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) issued a report that reflected its concern that religious principles were not taught as fundamental to world history. In 1987, the California Board of Education changed its social studies curriculum to include more facts in textbooks religion in history and called for a return of the classics in secondary literature classes.
