What does that mean?
Texas being the 800 pound gorilla in the room as far as textbooks means they help determine which ones are published and their content.

I would love to see it just to get away from the lunatics in Washington.
It would be difficult dealing with a failed state on the new southern border but we would manage.

Other states tend to just do what CA.
and TX do. Laziness perhaps, and
some cowardice, hiding test scores
and 'due diligence" behind what the Pongids do.
Which is to let laziness, ideology, and, bribery choose.

The books are grossly overpriced garbage.


But hey, it's you Amrricans' deal. Here on the Pacific
rim our students so far outpace yours it's no contest.

Getting back to what I have been saying for years, let Texas back out of the union.
Now that race, " gender", religion and country of
origin are no longer acceptable as targets for bigotry,
those in need still have states and political parties
for their calumny.

That is for sure! Our kids are dumbed down as you can see from our replies.

I own solar panels and don't receive any benefits that you speak of.
Weird, because my Conservative aunt has solar panels. Because the investment, when she sells her home. She was bragging about them. And how she pays less on electric.In CA, people receives benefit in taxes.

I'm sorry about your dad. I was talking about carbon credit or rebates. It would take me owning them for over 20 years for them to pay for themselves and I would get some benefits if I sold my house. Peace
