Not to feed into stereotypes - but who expected Texas to lead a resistance to financial domination over schools? If schools AREN'T owned by Pepsi Cola in 6 years props to them:
When St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Austin, Tex., was faced with an ultimatum--pull Annie Proulx's short story "Brokeback Mountain" from its reading list or lose a $3-million donation to its building fund--school officials chose to give up the money. That decision is reverberating far beyond Austin. Writers from around the country have been so inspired by the school's actions that they've formed a group of young adult authors called AS IF! (Authors Supporting Intellectual Freedom).
