Publishers can publish what they want, it's their first amendment right. And I disagree with you on where and what will get people excited. I know for a fact that an informed parent is going to become much more active and voice their displeasure at those in charge if it directed at the school board which is local than a publishing house that may be thousands of miles away. I believe that Texas has a great deal to do with what text books our schools are receiving.
I'm just pleased that there is more focus on what our schools are doing, or should I say, not doing correctly. It all starts in our schools.
