Maybe you do.

They are shifting towards that silly standardized test way of teaching, it's true. But I usually skimmed the book as did most people at best. If the teacher didn't like something in the book they pointed it and talked about it. Presumably conservative schools pick out conservative textbooks, though I've never served on a school board.
