It's not that we're trying to prevent students from getting exposure to the ideas in these textbooks. It's just that they don't adequately teach the subject matter, in the view of the faculty.

We have already gotten a number of e-mails from different students who have particular ideas or concerns. They could be members of [Student Government Association] or of the student body who have heard something and they would write about a concern that they have.

Crime is our nemesis and we can't seem to find a solution, so that's an exposure.

They have new ideas and new ways of doing things, but it will be good for the students.

Students can have great ideas, and they need their freedom to pursue their own ideas.

Textbooks don't kill learning environments, teachers do.
