Parents question 35-year-old textbooks

Some parents here want to know why their fifth-graders at Adcock Elementary School are reading from 1963 science books.

"During your lifetime, man will probably land on the moon," page 94 of the book reads.

Parent Elizabeth Bouchard told KTNV Channel 13 that she doesn't think the children can get a quality education with an outdated textbook.

The Clark County School District admits to using old textbooks, but said there is nothing wrong with the books as long as the curriculum is being taught.
