Keep the Government out of the textbook business. This business belongs in the marketplace- public competition. The textbook generating business (updates, new ideas) moves much too fast for the government to be able to handle the load.

Text book companies are Producers/Generators and produce in accordance with Consumer desires.
Consumers should then buy what is the best value and thus we have competition. Competition lowers cost and increases quality.
The Federal Government and State Government is incapable of being an adequate Producer/Generator. Maybe they are also poor at setting quality standards or poor at buying smartly if there is a problem with textbook today. It is not "rocket science".
