TX racism Bill and our nation's text books

Okay:

1) I am sorry if this was talked about already. I didn't see anything.

2) If my knowledge is outdated please correct me.


When I was in school and when my nieces and nephews had been in school a majority of textbook companies had been based in Texas and these publishers often used the Texas school board Curriculum to create the text book. So with this new law about Critical Race History how many Texas books will be following Texas lead and yes, a good School board and good teacher sublimates text book knowledge but how many classroom only teach from the text book? How many kids our homeschool with no other sources from the text book.
