Dumbass leftist comment of the day
In an article about the rising cost of textbooks:
Danny Katz, a campus organizer with the California Public Research Interest Group, said publishers are overdoing it."Certainly there are some subjects with a legitimate need for a new textbook every couple of years because the content changes so rapidly," Katz said. But "calculus hasn't changed in 300 years, so there's no need for a new edition of a textbook every couple of years."
The obvious answer is to let people like Mr. Katz decide what textbook publishers can and can't publish. You know, to protect the kids.
Expect a textbook on economics to then follow that would put little quotey-marks around the "theory" of supply and demand.
Because the first to receive justice when the Bolivarian Revolution hits el norte: those bloodsucking running dog bastard publishers of calculus textbooks.
