Education researchers, social scientists, and library representatives have charged that the Education Department is preparing to delete information from its Web site, in part because the material does not reflect the philosophies of the Bush administration.

The American Educational Research Association, the American Library Association, and 12 other organizations expressed their concern about what they see as a trend in a letter sent to Education Secretary Roderick R. Paige last month and now posted as part of a statement on the research association\’s Web site.

The letter is the latest in a series of complaints alleging that the administration is limiting information and research on specific issues for ideological reasons.\”
