I'm not going to weigh in on CC itself (I don't have an opinion either way), I just want to point out that when Texas, NY and California (or any combination of those 3) adopt a standard it becomes almost impossible to find a text book or other resources that are not geared toward that standard, and thus becomes very difficult to generate curriculum.

So with California and NY adopting CC this fuels the adoption of CC in more states as a standard because it opens access to more resources at reduced cost since you aren't buying, essentially, custom materials and books. I think that rubs a lot of people the wrong way and has contributed to a lot of noise around CC.
