I am interested in the debate taking place over whether we should champion, acquire or at least be silent about books being commisioned/promoted/funded by anti-Israel elements or as part of a public relations campaign by pro-Palestinian groups. In our attempts at fairness, we sometimes bend over backwards beyond the bounds of common sense. I don't waste my school's money on these materials and when they do cross my desk, I communicate my displeasure to the appropriate publishers/editors, etc. It may not make a big difference, but I believe that in the absense of critical feedback, these products will continue to proliferate.
