One good thing to note is that all the proposed AP and Honors Biology textbooks are well-rated by Texas Citizens for Science. This is good for our future scientists, anyway.

Teaching real science to the bright kids and dumbed-down watered-down science to the less able kids widens the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots", unfortunately.
