But .... history, literature, biology (the eternal evolution debate), government/sociology - those have some real minefields to tip toe through.

Screw the textbook publishers. I'm still pissed about averaging $600 every 12 weeks for my engineering books; especially when all the stuff in the first two years was math/physics that's been known for over a century.
As far as reviewing, isn't that the state's job? They ensure public schools are teaching the required courses in the required manner, covering the required nuggets of information to be certified.
No school is going to even come close to risking their accreditation, as it's too much of a selling point.
