Textbooks already outdated in Lodi-area school districts


Textbooks already outdated in Lodi-area school districts:

"Students in California won't read in their U.S. history textbooks about our first black president for another seven years — or more. Science books won't mention the value of stem cell research, and global terrorism might not appear in world history texts used in the classroom.

That was part of the provision struck by the governor and the Legislature in adopting the state's budget earlier this year."
