I found an article at "SoundVision.com" where Abigail Jungreis, Editorial Director for Houghton Mifflin is quoted

"It is also with the help of the CIE that Jungreis says Houghton Mifflin's textbooks have been able to show what Crusades were like for the Muslims. “We've been able to give several perspectives on an event like that,” she says.”

 "We see our reviewers as playing a crucial role in enabling us to present accurate and complete information,” she notes. “In this day and age there's no way anybody can be an expert on all aspects of history or social studies subjects."

WOW!!!  Review what  Houghton Mifflin's website states: 

7.  HM’s Q:  Did the CIE or any other religious group contribute to the writing of either “A Message of Ancient Days” or “Across the Centuries”?

HM’s A:   No, the scope of their involvement was limited to reviewing the textbook material.

I think Houghton Mifflin contradicts themselves, SEE ARTICLE BELOW:

PROFILE OF COUNCIL OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION:

 http://www.soundvision.com/Info/education/pubschool/pub.cie.asp

"They're very professional, very informed and they have at their heart the same thing we do which is the desire for good, accurate information for the children,” says Abigail Jungreis, Editorial Director for school social studies at Houghton Mifflin book publishing company, which has several textbook divisions. “We've had a really good relationship with them (the CIE) over the years. Their reviewers are knowledgeable, access to primary source materials,” Jungreis notes.
"It is also with the help of the CIE that Jungreis says Houghton Mifflin's textbooks have been able to show what Crusades were like for the Muslims. “We've been able to give several perspectives on an event like that,” she says.

This sounds like contributing to me]

”We see our reviewers as playing a crucial role in enabling us to present accurate and complete information,” she notes.

The CIE's mandate has broadened to include more than just critiquing textbooks. The organization has also produced publications that can be used as supplemental teaching guides to help teach about Islam and Muslims.

Mansuri says the CIE has also trained over 8,000 teachers about teaching Islam in public schools. They have a speakers' bureau, and have spoken to over 100,000 students.

It conducts in-service workshops for schools, districts and organizations, participates in annual education conferences.

Mansuri's response to the CIE's success is humble.

“Our job is to share to the best of our ability to share the message of Islam without becoming a bigger obstacle in His Path than we already are,” he says simply.

[oh they shared more than enough in a state funded textbook!]

Following this article are some sites listed on "SoundVision.com"  I glanced at some of them, and "Dawa in Public School" caught my eye... Christians are told to share their faith as well, but we generally don't train them in this manner:  It contains:

 

School Students: Receptive to New ideas
Schools students are routinely exposed in their classroom to new information and opinions, hence they tend to be more receptive to new beliefs and ideas. Schools are therefore fertile grounds where the seeds of Islam can be sowed inside the hearts of non-Muslim students. Muslim students should take ample advantage of this opportunity and expose their school mates to the beautiful beliefs of Islam.
[public school officials claim they have no impact]
Relief Booths to Help Disaster Victims
During the time of any natural and human created disasters, Muslims students should be the first one to respond by setting up a disaster relief assistance booth, which collects money, canned food, clothes etc. This gives a very positive picture of Islam and Muslims as servers of humanity, compared to the negative images of Islam portrayed by the media.
[Christians are commanded to love and share, not "give a positive picture."  We do have false shepherds, but God's purpose is to genuinely love]


Remember, It was always Muslim creativity, Iman and the help of Allah that has constantly won victories for the Muslims, and schools and campuses won"t be any exceptions.
