OKLAHOMA CITY (UPD
- Though some civil liber-
tarians and educators warn it
could lead to academic
censorship, publishers say
they will not be affected by a
legislative resolution calling
for textbooks to reflect
traditional values
The resolution, which swept
through both houses of the
Oklahoma Legislature in late
March, does not have the
force of law
But it does specifically
state what legislators believe
should be included in text-

The State Welfare Commis-

to stop using the Helena
school for housing children
The decision came after
Legal Aid of Western
Oklahoma and other parties
had filed a lawsuit on tiehalf
of some former juvenile

which lawyers sought to
move the department away
from housing children in

The resolution urges the
state Textbook Committee to
approve books that are ob-

disorder, show the ef
fectiveness of the free en-
terprise system and provide
instruction in reading,
writing and arithmetic
The document also calls for

saying it is a slap in the face
to women because it “calls
for textbooks to show men in
working roles and women in
housewife roles."
Supporters of the document
say it is simply an attempt to
encourage state officials to be
careful in choosing textbooks
and does not pose any threat
of censorship
The resolution is based
upon the recommendations of
a farmers' group that com
plained to legislators about
the moral degeneration of
textbooks, said Rep Charles
Gray, D-Oklahoma City
"This resolution is not a
slap in the face of educators
it is not censorship It is not
creationism," Gray said
“I'm not going to sponsor a
bill that holds a textbook
committee to the letter ”
Sen Norman Lamb, R-
Enid. said the resolution was
"just a recommendation" to
encourage the Textbook
Committee to choose books
that foster traditional moral
standards.
"I ve been under the im-
pression they've been falling
short," he said
But nothing would be done
to members of the Textbook
Committee if they did not
follow the recommendations.
Lamb said.
"This thing has been blown
out of proportion It has no
effect of law," Lamb said “I
can’t believe this thing has
been jumped all over."
Textbook publishers say
they will not be affected by
the resolution, because their
products already meet high
moral standards
"We certainly take notice
of it, but I think we're already
doing all of those things they
asked us to do." said Aubrey
Bain Jr., president of the
Oklahoma Bookmen's
Association
"I get the feeling that
possibly the legislators didn't
give enough thought or re-
search to it I think what they
are asking is already being
done," said Bain, who repre-
sents the publishing firm of
Houghton Mifflin Co

things," said Bob Stinson, a -

dictating what people are
going to learn and what
they're not going to learn,"
said Weldon Davis, president
of the Oklahoma Education
Association
"This is a resolution to just
get the foot in the door and
next they'll be mandating it."
“We think it’s really a
violation of academic free-
dom," said Shirley Barry,
executive director of the
American Civil Liberties
Union in Oklahoma
“The Legislature is
probably trying to interfere
with educators selection of
textbooks it's not ap-
propriate"
Barry said the clause
pertaining to the origins of
mankind could be construed
as an attempt to promote
scientific creationism in
schools
The Oklahoma Women's
Political Caucus has also
attacked the resolution.
