How school curricula are determined?

I think that the curricula in schools is controlled locally too, and thus the books are not entirely objective and accurate. It appears that interest groups can easily tell how children learn. But I am not an expert in education and I do not have kids. I watched a science book for children jr high and I was embarrassed by some inaccuracies. Certainly they could be better books, but how is this the end on a desk children? When I took a course in American history, there was a girl who was like a freshman in shock of what was taught. I think their should be a group of experts to ensure what is taught written is true. Yes, this happens in the books of the advance for colleges too, but part is a work of art where studies may better and higher are required to display errors. On the other hand, we do not like children PhDs at the time of their 16 years of age. Anyone experiencing this on a daily basis (teachers, parents, …) have any ideas?

The program is determined by each state by category of class learning standards. Textbooks must be approved by the State based on how the standards are fully covered. In my state, manuals are on one year of Cycle 7, so if a country has a name change or should new discoveries of science, it is for the teacher to take and correct inaccuracies, as it may be years before the book is updated. There is also the time when the information can be subjective. For example, International students born (or born to foreign parents) may oppose the perspective from which history is taught. There will always be debates on topics such as evolution, because it goes against religious teachings of certain groups.
