Screw Texas and California. If they don't like common sense, rigorous textbooks, make them write their own while the remaining 40 states or so (I'm sure a few bible belt states and maybe Oregon would use the Texas and California editions) use the good stuff.

"New Math" Sure would be an interesting concept.
