[QUOTE="donner, post: 3314514, member: 277"] this really isn't new. IIRC discussions of this nature have been going on for a while. I believe it caught the public attention a few years ago when texas moved required the inclusion of Creationism for a time, so any book used needed to have what some regarded as religion masquerading as science. And it's not so much that they can force the publisher so much as its the publisher risks losing out on one of the two biggest systems in the country if they don't comply. The Texas and CA systems are too large of buyers for the publishers to simply ignore, so as goes those places, so goes the textbooks of our nation. Wasn't the texas board even trying to move to exclude teaching about ol' hillary and helen keller at one point recently or some such thing? [/QUOTE]
