Texas is ONE of several adoption states. TX and CA are the two biggest. TX will guarantee a book per child (CA won't). I would rather TX have the power to influence textbooks than some other states.
The selection process is based on teachers getting together and looking at the samples that are sent to each district/school. Then, with their input, the board makes the selections for the list. I am not sure what your problem with this process is.

Why am I not surprised that yet another Evo on FR identifies with RINO sellouts and the communist ACLU?

Hear! Hear! The total separation of school and state is the only way to go. Let parents choose if they want their children to be taught that their ancestors were monkeys or that God shaped them in His own image. The two world views are forever incompatible.

They are up in arms because there stranglehold over your children just got a little weaker.

I have no problem with the process. All I was really trying to say is that Texas is one of the most influential textbook markets in the country.

Ooops! I mistook secedes for succeeds! Time to strengthen the magnification level on my reading glasses 8o)

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion. However, this article was not written by creationists, it was written by IDers. Surely, by now, you know the difference!Yes. And I know the difference between the theory of evolution and Earth age theory, and it can be an ordeal trying to discuss them on those terms.
I'm interested in the articles if they have interesting scientific or philosophical content, and I believe in giving credit where credit is due, but there's an upper limit to how many different discoveries by how many people are going to drive the last nail into the ToE's coffin how many times before it gets really tedious.

Textbooks are like toupes. Some are better than others, but they’re still textbooks and everyone can tell that they’re textbooks.

Alas! My Fate. There’s never going to be any originality in a common truth.
