Textbook publishers are surrendering to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ demands that math instructional materials get in line with state standards, allowing more books to be added to the approved list, according to the Florida Department of Education.
“Publishers are aligning their instructional materials to state standards and removing woke content allowing the department of education to add 19 more books to the state adoption list over the past 17 days,” the Florida Department of Education announced on its website.
The Florida Department of Education announced on April 15 that it had rejected 41% of math textbooks proposed by publishers for public instruction because they contained “indoctrinating concepts” such as critical race theory, social-emotional learning, and Common Core, which are prohibited by the state according to the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking Standards.
The Florida Department of Education explained that publishers could substitute or revise their submitted bids to meet Florida’s specifications or appeal the decision.
Additional books have been added to the adoption list “because they removed woke content and made other changes to meet state standards,” Florida Department of Education press secretary Cassie Palelis told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday.

“Florida Textbook Publishers Surrender to DeSantis, Scrub Woke Content”
Best news headline I’ve read in weeks. Thank you Ron.
So DeSantis was the only person opposed to this?
Sure looks like it, since he seems to be getting all the credit.
Weren't there at least a couple of people in Florida also opposed?
I see no mention of them, only DeSantis.
No child K to 3 thinks they are “gay” unless some groomer has planted the idea of sodomyin their mind.
Seriously, children that age don’t even think about normal sex, let alone deviant sex.
There are a couple more moves DeSantis could do that would put a stake in the heart of all the libs, and raise the educational standards across the state. We will see if he gets it done.
Small victory with little to no effect on the reality of a teaching culture that will find a way to infect our children with woke Leftist thought.
The material is downloadable and printable on any school’s printers.
The only real solution is home schooling or private schooling.
Honestly, I’d like to see them shut down.
How dare they put that tripe in little kid’s books.
Even the innocent books we used to enjoy have been updated
with Leftist dogma mixed in, making Capitalism the world’s
pariah ideology.
The Left just won’t stop until they get told it stops or
else.
Another congratulations to DeSantis. Leadership I haven’t seen in a long, long time.
Otherwise, as physicist Richard Feynman exposed in his memoir, state officials and supposed blue chip advisory staff acted as rubber stamps to whatever the textbook publishers put out. In carefully reviewing California's science and math textbooks, Feynman found them riddled with obvious errors and lapse in reasoning and terminology. on further inquiry, Feynman found that the prestigious names attached as supposed authors were lushly compensated but had little to do with what appeared in the books.
Now, with a near solidly GOP state government and a strong conservative as State Education Commissioner, Florida is demanding better. And the textbook publishers are meekly folding in response to Florida's demands, even as to critical race theory and gender grooming propaganda.
2024. There is no other choice.
Unless they really hate you in which case nothing you do is ever right.
The Free State Of Florida!
Nope, not tired of winning yet. Our fantastic gov!!!
And just like that, the Woke BS was removed from the textbooks.
Every state needs to do this.
“Every state needs to do this.”
Abbott usual does what DeSantis does, a week or two later.
