Who monitors our books?

Today on Fox News, Alan Brinkley, a liberal author was exposed for authoring two history books which were ‘grossly inaccurate accounts of history’. Alan is the Professor of History at the Columbia University. The two books are “American History: A survey" and “The Unfinished Nation". Being a 'Professor' must give some privilege of unmonitored context in ones publishing.
This is one sure way to pollute the minds of our younger generation. I have authored a book about factual events, and I see how it could easily be distorted until someone challenges it. My question is with something as foundationally important as our history: who monitors what is going into our schools? This is where ‘freedom of speech’ is dangerous. 'Freedom of' without boundaries is the cause of confusion between right and wrong. Even morals and ethics become distorted.
If someone knows of a society or a council that I should know about please let my readers know.
