If they were involved in textbook selection, the micro-managing would become even more petty than it is.

Everyone wants to teach their kids what they think is important but one small group of politicians in one state shouldnt have this much power over what goes into textbooks and curriculums across the country.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's almost impossible for history to tell you what REALLY happened because there is always one side that somehow has more power and can make the books say what they want them to say.

I don't know how any parent could trust a school to teach their kids the things the parent deems important.

You absolutely can not. And I brought this up in the teacher thread as well. As much time as I spend educating my son on the things he should be learning at school I'm beginning to think it would be easier to homeschool him.
