[Taxacom] Fw: botany removed from highschool curriculum in USA]

[Dick Jensen]

While Dave Schindel is right about no national standards, we know that if two or three states, say Texas and California, change their standards, the rest of the nation is almost forced to accept those changes.  The states with really large public school systems can virtually dictate to publishers what the content will be.

Could this be part of the concern?
