While I would agree text are very similar I think a national curriculum
would come with excess baggage many if not most would not care to have.
If it were just guidelines and not a mandate it could be acceptable.  IF
it was only a core curriculum without great societal ideas embedded into
it and if it were testable for results.  Lots of IF's.  For those of us
who still value our freedoms anything national must be approached with
caution from passed experience.
