I also have one additional question. Why do Texas and California get to decide what textbooks will be used? I can think of a couple of states with higher populations than Texas. Why not New York? New Jersey? Illinois?
There must be something that "educators" and "activists" know that I don't.
That selection of states is no better.
But your point is well taken.
Likely it’s got to do with the $$$$$$.
The biggest purchasers of textbooks are going to have the most say.

Fox News did a special about textbooks last year. It’s posted in many parts on Youtube.
