Texas rejects science textbooks for explaining climate change
The textbooks are required to cover climate change. I’m sure the books were rejected for a variety of stupid reasons, but not merely containing information about climate change.

Poorly written sentence. The very next paragraph states:
The 15-member board largely rejected the books either because they included policy solutions for climate change or because they were produced by a company that has an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policy.
