If the media aren't allowed to spin this affair into a replay of "Inherit the Wind" where all the conclusions are neatly spelled out in advance of the facts, the textbook situation in this country might stand a chance of getting aired out. Textbook publishers have turned into little more than paper mills. Anything they can get Texas and California to buy will be snapped up by everybody else, no matter how chock-full of boneheaded mistakes, myths, and disproved "facts" they are.
Not that anybody reads them these days....
Textbook publishers may publish crap, but adding religious crap to the mix doesn't improve things.
