There are already PACs that are pressuring states to omit evolution from
bio. texts. I doubt that you could get the public excited over textbooks.
The public will get excited when they think that they might die or have to
pay too much for health care, but accuracy of textbooks????
I think the first step would be to put together a professional committee
from AAPT members
that could carefully scrutinize every new MS and HS textbook
Some of this has been done by Project 2061 www.project2061.org and by the
Hubisz report.
The one thing that might
improve the situation would be to have state education agencies out of the
textbook selection process.
If there were to be a federal mandate it...
might expose the flaws in existing texts.
