I am afraid I can't make it to Austin but you guys (and girls) give 'em heck for me.
I don't know what the infatuation with the UN is, but it is here to stay it looks like. I would like to see it moved to Geneva or the dark side of the moon - but that will never happen I am afraid.

....but that will never happen I am afraid Yes it can happen, that is if we get a large contingency and go protest them. We could get on the news and make a big fuss. How about it???? The Leftists do - and get heard.

I'm not buying it! Yes, Texas and California are huge states, but the remaining 48 states buy more books collectively than either one.It's true for grades 1-12. Because the purchases of CA and TX are so large (and guaranteed once the book is approved) the publishers don't bother producing alternate books. TX and CA provide the "base" and all of the other states are required to choose whatever books those states have selected because no alternate texts are produced.
TX and CA choose books in alternate years (about a 4 year cycle, i.e: TX-2001, CA-2003, TX-2005). They may choose different books, and other states can buy whichever books either of those states chooses. The publishers produce several different sample books to take to a publisher's book fair where the book committees look them over and choose the text books for their state. Any book not chosen is scrapped -- it doesn't matter how much some people liked it. If it is not chosen by the powerful book committee of either TX or CA, it is not published. The only difference would be that private schools are free to choose their books from smaller publishers, such as Open Court. Private and parochial schools are not constrained to use the choices of the state book committees.
The advantage that the people of TX have is that there are regular citizens on their book committee. It is not dominated by NEA propagandists.
My information comes from my daughter and son-in-law who are in the textbook publishing business.

Would you agree at least that our Constitution and free enterprise system should not be attacked in our children's textbooks with OUR taxdollars?
In one sense I agree: It is not good for the United States if the textbooks of the public schools are filled with negative Propaganda against the United States.
But I am against the entire concept of organization that creates that situation. I am on the side of the homeschoolers, to make things clearer.

"I don't believe the information in the post has anything but facts in it. If I am wrong please point it out to me."
The idea that only the enemies of so-called conservatives are using emotions to making decisions is ludicrous. I already pointed out that religious conservatives use their feelings in promoting government policy all the time! In just the same ways that so called Liberals do.
Are you disagreeing with that? Again, that is the issue I RAISED, no matter that you are the third person to change the subject in replying.
To: libertarian_usa
I agree with you. I would do away completely with this bureaucray and many others if I could
To: libertarian_usa
Again, I am sorry if I misunderstood your post.

" Hypocrisy is another way to put it." No, Ignorance is the way to put it, Yours!
Truth trumps ignorance every time, that's why you're scared and angry. Truth can only be spiritually discerned.
He who has an ear, let him hear.

"no matter that you are the third person to change the subject in replying." Maybe you should be more clear in your replies. But, then again, maybe it's all of us, eh?
