I'm not contending anything. I'm pointing that the article says that these new books are "in addition to" the existing texts. Since this will vary from school to school or Board to Board any further assumptions about how this could be implemented are nothing more than speculative pearl clutching. 

As the only examples of new texts are the few that are listed in the article - which may or may not actually be used - your claims about the as "PC books of questionable ... merit" is nothing more than hyperbole. "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry won the Giller and was nominated for the Booker among other honours. Get a grip.
