I know it isn't really going to change things, one way or the other. I just get upset that people think that Texas should think of others before ourselves.
I'll be the first to admit that the textbook committee has a hard enough time in deciding what is best for Texans, if other states were thrown in the mix the result would be never having textbooks approved. There is always controvery surrounding textbook adoptions, because of special interest groups wanting to have their way.
Once again, other states CANNOT be the main concern of the SBOE textbook committee. They should concentrate on their goal of adopting textbooks that meet the criteria put forth by the SBOE and TEA. (State Board Of Education and Texas Education Agency)
