I have a friend who works for a textbook company. A few months ago, he mentioned something about “Texas textbooks,” but I didn’t know what he meant. I just found out what he meant and it angried up my blood to an extent I did not think was possible.

This, in a quote nutshell, is a “Texas Textbook.”
