I agree. They can delete entire chapters?! So those already dodgy bible belt colleges can claim to use industry recognised texts that have had the heck edited out of them so they fit ideological beliefs. I wonder how this would affect political science in some of those conservative colleges? Re-writing the Bush years, Iraq and 911 is now possible to paint the republicans in a more favorable light.
