Do Arizona-Type Boycotts To Publishers of Texas Textbooks

[Joanne98]

Why not organize boycotts by City, county, township or state against the books Texas has influenced?


The books are disgusting travesties of reality and history, ugly right wing and fundamentalist contortionist distortions of really happened.


If enough school boards stood up to the publishers, the publishers could tell Texas Schools they could take their books and pay extra for them.


LA and san francisco should do to TExas schoolbooks what they did to Arizona immigration law. Implement boycotts.


If Blue cities, states, townships and counties refused to buy books, period, from the book publishers that put the toxic Texas brain poison into books distributed throughout the US, perhaps the publisher will make a special editions for the poor Texas victim school children afflicted with the Texas schoolboard's anti reality brew.

1. The problem here is that Texas is such a big market that they...

push textbook makers to make books for the Texas Market. They find it economically unfeasible to make a text book for each state that reflects each states political aims.

California has moved to block the textbook changes in California. Being one of the other really big purchasers of textbooks, they provide a different market. The answer is not in boycotts, but demanding that your state ban these changes in state textbooks. Get enough states to disagree and Texas will have to live with printing their own alternate history books for just their schools. This will increase their cost by quite a bit because they become a niche market instead of establishing school policy for the entire United States. Because that is what they are doing, using established market forces to control school policy for the entire country.
