Why All Schools Need iPads: Ending Texas? Bizarre Control Over National History Textbooks

America's history education is still held captive to the notoriously anti-establishment Texas Board of Education, which buys enough high school textbooks that it can dictate the content of history books nationwide. A recent decision to recall a popular history book for its abject religious bias, written by one of the Board's most controversial experts, is a strong reminder of why every classroom needs an iPad, which allows school districts to curate their own reading material. Piecemeal textbook platforms, such as the Wake Forest University-designed Biobook, have created a unique opportunity for teachers to select the most compelling (and factually accurate) content from authors around the web. The most immediate benefit would be the end of the Texas Board's stranglehold on America's historical literacy.
