Special editions which have been tweaked for each state's special version of the course. Science textbooks that downplay Darwin and evolution and completely skip human reproduction, history textbooks that downplay Jefferson, literature anthologies that deny postmodernism, all that kind of academic censorship that we all hate to love.
