- Abstract
The author argues that the system of textbook selection and instruction in Indiana public schools should be abandoned. He discusses a February 6, 2009, communication to Indiana teachers from the Indiana State Board of Education concerning textbook selection, the book "America: The Last Best Hope" by William J. Bennett, and the use of the book "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn in Indiana schools. The article also discusses former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels and academic freedom.
