    So from this post I take it that neither you nor anyone you know has been in a public American school in the last three decades.

    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.
