An absolutely fascinating article on religion, American history--and school textbooks. I had no idea that TEXAS controlled so much of the market in textbooks.I went to public school, but never had too much history--we got out of some history if we took languages. So I don't really recall this being an issue. Anybody remember their history textbooks?
