I do understand what you mean. I was talking in the possibly naive hope that the scholarly people who write the textbooks would be a little more careful than the general public. I was also referring to the idea that, at least with peer-reviewed work, if someone is too far off base, others will deem the work unpublishable. I might just have too much faith in that system right now though, and I don't know if secondary school texts require peer review either. As far as the Orwellian feel of your new texts, I can't say I'm surprised, with what I know of the current US administration.
