Fundamentally, the problem is so much bigger than just Texas' school board and this particular rewrite. Fundamentally, the problem is that any state can end up with wrong, objectionable, or offensive curriculum simply due to enough nuts getting elected to the school board (or enough people who are nuts on one particular issue), and if that happens, there's very little parents can do about it in the short term aside from leaving the state or paying for private school. As long as the average person is stuck sending their kid to the nearest public school, we're also stuck with the possibility that the school board will choose to educate our children inappropriately (along with a whole host of other problems, like that the nearest school will simply be terrible.)
