In the US state of Texas, the board of education is drafting its own version of American history.

The board is changing school textbooks to correct what they say is a "left leaning" bias in education.

But some say the changes have religious and racial overtones.

As Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports, the changes could have a major impact on how history is taught across the US.
