It's scary and I feel sorry for America (especially for Texian) school children.

Why is it determined by a political organisation which textbooks are used?
Here sciencebooks for use in schools are determined by the scientific community.

If I was super rich I would personally cover the costs for new factually correct text books and then have them printed to match demand to every other state so they would have then cheap then buying copies Texas did not want, even if it was at a loss. As the education of a child that is factual accrute is worth more than any loss I would make, so it would be worth it in the end and worth it for humanity.

Gooders...I think it's time for you and me to launch our multinational corporate domination scheme to get rich so we can accomplish your idea. It is time. Activate Phase One.

There's so much senseless bullshit regarding the American education system. Really, this is old news at this point.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.
To the rest of the world, I apologize for the idiocy of my country. Then again, it is Texas...
