Why not a coalition of red states comming together to say, PC text books will not be purchased.

Or even adopt a set of model principles which must be adheared for acceptable textbooks.

A coalition of 4 or 5states would out number any stupidity of Kaleefoneea.

Read The Language Police by Diane Ravitch and you will see why this is nearly impossible. Textbook publishers take the path of least resistance, and lean toward excluding rather than including where anything may be considered controversial. And they do not make multiple versions. The two states that dictate what is in a book are California and Texas.
