It's not, but you can have your opinion.

Texas doesn't determine books for the entire country.
Texas votes on books for Texas.

If your state has an issue then it's with the publishing companies that want to push Texas books on your state.

the AG was a huge jerk by wasting the taxpayers' money on fighting that couple to score political points with his neanderthal voter base.

And politics don't in the Land of Fruits and Nuts or ANY state for that matter? Roscoe, are you wearing you greasy flag shirt today instead of Old Glory?

One has to wonder why the most populous state isn't buying more books than the second most populous.

That would be too hard of a question for their constituents to ask.
Instead they rally round the gov't to "block" another state's book choice.

Actually the answer is easy. They are! Texas is the second largest consumer of textbooks. Guess who is the first?

The very thing they blame the conservatives for..

This part is sooooo CA Liberal..... Yet they see nothing wrong with it!
Toddlers with a taste for 2 percent milk would be out of luck under a bill that would create new beverage standards in California's licensed day care facilities. AB2084 by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, would require day cares to serve only low-fat or nonfat milk to children ages 2 and older, limit juice to one serving a day and ban drinks with added sweeteners. Brownley says this will help combat rising childhood obesity by reducing children's caloric intake and teaching healthier habits
