Kate Meyer, a teacher from West Stockbridge, MA, writes a letter to the New York Times Magazine responding to the February 14  piece on Christianist moves to influence Texas textbook standards. She writes:

Desperate to corner the Texas market, publisher's are alienating other markets and teachers who now have more choice thanks to the internet.

Meyer tells how she and her colleague use primary documents from Yale's Avalon Project and other collections in their teaching practice. These documents are used to teach that history is made of competing stories, with many different points of view. She concludes:

Textbook publishers are becoming irrelevant in the digital age, and kowtowing to Texas will only hasten their demise.
