Texas Rewriting History

As lawmakers in Texas are attempting to rewrite history to put a more favorable spin on European brutalities, and lawmakers in Arizona are attempting to do away with Ethnic Studies courses at it's public schools - there may be a way to get around this foolishness.

The budget for textbooks in Texas is expected to be more than 1.4 billion dollars over the next few years for 5,600,000 students.
Ummm...
Let's see - 1,400,000,000/5,600,00=250.
A new Kindle on Amazon costs $259 with free two-day shipping.
Apparently some in San Antonio Texas have noticed this (long-term) savings with open-source materials as well.
