Andrew Cochran, who has been closely following the unfolding Saudi-textbook controversy in Virginia, concludes that the Fairfax Board of Supervisors, in asking the State Department to examine the texts:

cynically wimped out, refusing to accept the obvious evidence already presented by an independent commission of the federal government, and punted the whole issue away from that agency to the State Department. Surely the Board knew … that State will continue to do what it has done for years on this issue – nothing.

Not reassuring.
