USAToday reports the FBI is getting rid of hundreds of troubling training materials that are either inaccurate or promote stereotypes regarding adherents of Islam.

FBI Director Robert Mueller announced the agency had pulled the documents at a meeting two weeks ago with advocacy groups.

FBI spokesman Christopher Allen confirmed Thursday that the meeting took place and that some documents have been pulled. Allen also said the FBI soon will have final plans that will give clear guidelines on what training materials the agency can use.

The decision comes after a report in Wired Magazine exposed the use of religious stereotypes in training. This sounds like a step in the right direction.
