The appointment to the state Board of Education of a high-ranking member of a Confederate heritage group who once sold anti-Semitic books is causing an uproar with civil rights groups and education officials.
Ron Wilson, a former commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, was selected by a 4-3 vote of the Anderson County delegation to the General Assembly. ...

Wilson once sold textbooks to parents who home-school their children. The books included "Barbarians Inside the Gates," which touted a discredited theory that Jews are working toward world domination.

He praised the book — which the SPLC called "a viciously anti-Semitic tome" — on his personal Web site.

As a member of the state board, Wilson will help determine which textbooks are used in S.C. schools.
