Norma Gabler dedicated much of the past 46 years of her life to making sure public school textbooks received careful public scrutiny before they were allowed in Texas schools.
The 84-year-old Longview resident died Sunday in Phoenix, Ariz., after serving for decades as the public face of an effort to bolster both accuracy and conservative beliefs in public school textbooks. She and her husband, Mel, who died in 2004, began their work in 1961 in Hawkins after finding errors in a textbookof one of their sons . . .

Gary North on the death of Mrs. Gabler's husband Mel in 2004:
Mel Gabler is not a household name, yet he had more influence in shaping recent American life than most people ever dream of. He and his wife Norma stood in the gap for over four decades, battling the tax-funded schools' textbook Establishment. Time and time again, the Gablers inflicted enormous financial losses on textbook firms until the publishers learned to clear their textbooks in advance with the Gablers. I can think of no couple that inflicted as much pain on the liberal humanist educational establishment . . .
