The legal threats were on the college level and the trials were canceled because of them rather than pay for coming up with alternatives or fighting it in court.
When it comes to government spending on education, AZ is near, if not at, the bottom of the list. We almost had State fund for education cut off by the (must be nice) "governor" we are stuck with because she was holding those funds ransom to force through the sales tax she was pushing.
Suing governments that are broke (we're closing State Parks, laying off treachers and cops, raising taxes, etc. because the State is so broke) is not a reliable way of making money. Even if one were to win, good luck collecting.
I'm glad you live in Utopia but not everyone has that luxury.

If I lived in Utopia, everyone would be able to afford tablets, lol.
My point was that states are broke, so I don't see them moving to e-books for years, because the upfront costs are high, and they won't be able to require all parents to pay for tablets. If they did, they'd risk legal action, which they cannot afford, either. Yes, my ref to the Arizona e-reader trials
was at college level; my point was that equal accessibility is lawsuit bait.
We seem to be going in circles here, so I will bow out.
