The Florida Department of Education has rejected 41% of the books submitted to it for mathematics instruction in public schools. It wasn’t that the math in the books was bad; it was that the publishers were using the books as a vehicle for pushing hard-left social issues. Even worse, the bulk of these improper books (71%) was aimed at the youngest students Kindergarten through 5th grade. At least in Florida, the government is not going to “de-educate” its students with woke math, something that’s already happening at Durham University in England.
Here's just part of the press release. You can read the rest here.
Today, Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran approved Florida’s initial adoption list for mathematics instructional materials properly aligned to Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards. The approved list followed a thorough review of submissions at the Department, which found 41 percent of the submitted textbooks were impermissible with either Florida’s new standards or contained prohibited topics – the most in Florida’s history. Reasons for rejecting textbooks included references to Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusions of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics. The highest number of books rejected were for grade levels K-5, where an alarming 71 percent were not appropriately aligned with Florida standards or included prohibited topics and unsolicited strategies. Despite rejecting 41 percent of materials submitted, every core mathematics course and grade is covered with at least one textbook.
Overall, Florida is initially not including 54 of the 132 (41 percent) submitted textbooks on the state’s adopted list. The full breakdown is below:

These mentally disturbed communists think that they will always get away with the brainwashing they are trying to perform on school children. Where are the criminal charges?

THAT needs to happen in more places.
It appears from this article that, even after laws against such material as CRT, the books continued to be submitted to the schools.
Three Va children........ all one year of age.......were in the emergency room
after parents observed lethargic and uncoordinated behavior and glassy, bloodshot eyes.
Hospital staff quickly recognized the symptoms and testing confirmed the one year olds had been exposed to THC.
THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis...
The VA toddlers day-care had infused snacks with THC, causing lethargy difficulties, perhaps to keep them in a “vegetative” condition, and easier to manage:
I can’t even comprehend how CRT winds up in a Math textbook…
How does a school textbook publisher get a contract to supply books to the schools? The usual graft and corruption so famously done by the Democrats?

I like that! I would also suggest that they should work it into their pronoun.
20 plus years ago I evaluated high school social studies books for adoption. If a World Geography boom did not use the word communism I threw them out. How can you teach about Cuba, USSR or Vietnam without using the word communist?
You were correct in your decision.
Liberals love lying and playing word games.
They have to lie to advance their cause.
Facts and statistics should render them obsolete.
Not only Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics but take a close of some ads on TV.
God bless!
I wish they would include specific examples of the objectionable material. Their fight would have a greater impact if they did.
Makes me want to more and more move to Florida.
