After more than three years of legal battles, the California sixth-grade History-Social Sciences textbook controversy has finally been put to bed with the conclusion of a lawsuit by California Parents for the Equalization of Educational Materials (CAPEEM) against members of the State Board of Education (SBE). The former had made broad claims that the textbook contents and the adoption process violated the US Constitution’s Establishment Clause. CAPEEM had also claimed that the SBE had violated its members’ equal protection as well as free speech and association rights.
