No it's not. It's like saying you're the head of a family, and everyone in your family liked white vanilla ice cream, but you alone like red vanilla ice cream. They even have their own money, but because you control the car and how they get to Dairy queen, despite everyone else HATING red vanilla ice cream, they have to get it because they have no choice.
Now do you understand? Except in this case, there's even less of an obligation because Texas isn't a patriarch, but just a fellow state that benefits from a large population.
Your power to choose whatever options available to you is not in danger. Other states still have the power to decide what text they want shown from the ones available to them.
The father still has the right to decide who can get in his own car. He does not have the right to block the rest of the family from taking a bus, walking, or using mom's car if she wanted to go.
Ok, so now you're just back to ignoring simple reality. It's not economically possible for FIFTY states to each get their own textbooks made by publishing companies, they will not do so. Accept this or not, I don't really give a fuck any more, i'm not going to sit here and pretend like you're a twelve year old, despite your repeated attempts to emulate one.
As for meeting a lot of pricks like me, good man good, just keep talking all that shit with no actual evidence to back up your claims but ad hominem, your kind will go the way of the dinosaur soon enough. If you think lacking in critical thinking skills is a GOOD thing (let's look at the falling education standards in the midwest and south as an example and for proof as to why downplaying critical thinking skills in a curriculum is obviously detrimental), then stop talking to me.
While I enjoy debating with you and trying to find a prescription for what I'm sure is just transient ignorance that seems to be plaguing so many of our country men like yourself, i'm not going to argue with someone that believes Texas' population size and penchant for electing relatively stupid officials into educational positions should be allowed to continue to the detriment of our nation's children.
Other state's inability to get the books they want do not negate another state's or person's rights to choose for themselves.
