Good rant at *Lew Rockwell* this morning about today's school textbooks. [Link](http://www.lewrockwell.com/taylor/taylor105.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpt:

> America was once a nation of literate, thinking, people. This level of education was brought about, despite the fact that there was (fortunately) a dearth of huge textbook publishing houses selling instructional materials that level a population down ”“ while economically thriving by impoverishing taxpayers through repeat purchases of continually rewritten, updated, ineffective, expensive, aligned to standards and benchmarks, containing more colorful and current photos that will soon cause the new editions to look as outdated as the former editions so that taxpayers must buy yet more books from huge textbook publishing houses.
