From its inception, this article has include the controversy over Our Virginia: Past and Present. It is worthy of inclusion because it is rare that a textbook contains such a significant mistake that it makes the front pages of national newspapers, and that the publisher distributes stickers to cover over the controversial passage. Please do not delete it. Racepacket (talk) 15:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just checked to see if BLP1E would apply here, and the answer appears to me to be "no". This New York Times review significantly predates the current controversy. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Apparently so, but the article should not just regurgitate news coverage of the controversy, per WP:UNDUE. The better place to describe the incident as such is Education in Virginia. Sandstein 16:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
