Based on this headline it could be the situation I’m describing: that literally they have a problem with too much focus being put on a single topic, in a class that’s supposed to cover many topics.
So no, you don’t know that yet. Unless you can present more evidence that it is.
Among the reasons the board rejected books: They had too much information about the climate crisis; they were published by companies with environmentally friendly policies; they portrayed fossil fuel use in an insufficiently positive light, potentially harming the state’s economy; and they included teachings about evolution but not creationism.
With this information, I sincerely doubt the board was finding honest problems with the texts. They rejected textbooks because they didn’t include creationism – there clearly isn’t any legitimate desire for science.
Would you reject a science textbook if it had too much information about ionic bonding?
Depends how much the Ionic Bonding Lobby Group was paying me.
everybody knows the licentious covalent bonding is where it’s at~
Nope. Then again, I’m not a fundie loon 🤷
So if the textbook was say 10 chapters, and 7 of them were about ionic bonding, that wouldn’t be a problem?
if it was a textbook about chemical bonds, then no.
And what if it’s not, but rather the sort of textbook you’d expect in a high school science class?
well if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle.
We’re talking about actual legislation and ideologically based censorship, so please

There’s your problem. Read the article :)
