The number of complaints against text books and reading material made by the right (religious and otherwise) outnumbers those made by the left (or middle of the bird) by over 70% according to the National Association of School Librarians.
In fact in one state they managed to get any mention of evolution blocked from text book completely.
The number of complaints about books containing witchcraft alone is staggering.
Since I have friends who are Wiccan this almost amounts to persecution (can we all say witch hunt?).
If you want dumb text books just check out the ones published for the Christian Schools (that's christian with a capital C since they are convinced they are the only christians).
