We're talking about preliminary injunctive relief here. I don't even think a textbook alleging that the proper religion of all good U.S. Citizens is First Presbyterian and that all other Protestants and especially Catholics and Jews are going straight to hell, would be enough to show irreparable harm.
And how big a deal is this really? No one can control what individual teachers do. Some teachers I know would use the book to teach students about how these new textbooks are propaganda, etc. And the further these books go in doing this, the better armed some teachers will be to teach kids a valuable lesson -- do not trust the government, no matter who is in power.
