California bill would block Texas text books from CA

[thewayne]

This I like. I do not like the direction Texas is taking with revising history to a fundamentalist agenda. They hold tremendous power in the text book market through their purchasing power, and lots of school districts default their book selection to copy Texas'. California is saying No, and with a powerful voice. They also buy lots of books, and they also don't like the fundy stand that Texas is taking.

GO CALIFORNIA!
