On the one hand, in the Internet age, I'm not as concerned about what's in a textbook, since students are likely to just Google what they need to get their homework done. Yet, the apparent lack of consultation that went into these decisions is alarming. These people can't possibly be experts in all subjects, but they made changes as if they were. This means they were being righteous instead of responsible. Personally, I suspect the new material will be misleading, and even wrong, in some important ways. But even if you agree with the changes, can you really be comfortable with the approach used to achieve them?
