Burton said publishers had offered texts that complied with guidelines issued in March. Michael Hudson, coordinator for a citizens group, People for the American Way, said Bynum’s decision “undermines the entire textbook selection process.” “Fifteen educators from all across Texas have spent six months reviewing the books, screening thousands of pages of written comments and many hours in public hearings only to have their decision summarily overturned,” he said. Hudson said Bynum’s deci sion underscores the need for reform of the textbook selection process in Texas. thorities said further tests would be made to determine the exact cause of death. The conviction carried a sent ence of 99 years to life.
