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.

Me too. In math it was probably something like:
TreDeshawn liberated 130 watches via a heroic smash-and-grab technique from a racist jewelry store and sold them on the streets to oppressed People of Color for $75 each. How much did TreDeshawn recover thanks to the 1619 Project?

Youngkin celebrated his inauguration by punching CRT in its ugly face.
Gov. Youngkin eliminated a CRT math initiative called VMPI (VaMPIre) in his first week in office. Among other immediate anti-CRT actions, Youngkin rooted out a Marxist "10-year plan" to permanently overwhelm Virginia high-school and middle-school math classes with CRT.
The gasoline on this fire was a 2018 Marxist manifesto -- "Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics" -- which was overloaded with CRT newspeak, a book specifically designated to be the Marxist spearhead to introduce CRT into American 'pubrik skrewel' (The Rush Limbaugh bon mot) mathematics:
Who wrote this nonsense? Surprise, surprise, the National Council of Teachers and Mathematics, and their "woke math" series, injecting CRT into math on the basis of one ridiculous Soviet agitprop screed: Roach-hell Gutierrez' "Building Support for Scholarly Practices in Mathematics Methods":
"On many levels, mathematics itself operates as whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as white...perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."DeSantis has had 3 1/2 goddamn years to get his "Stop WOKE Act" done -- Youngkin did it in one week!
Furthermore, DeSantis' belated signing of "Stop WOKE Act" was a defensive measure, in a state where CRT has not yet been fully pogromized.
Youngkin boldly took on a blue state where CRT has already been fully embedded in schools statewide -- Loudoun County VA was one of the first CRT targets in the US (outside of Kalifornia), with the Loudoun County fat-bourgeois-faux-Marxist CRT-addicted school board aggressively integrating CRT into their curriculum -- all until they f^cked up by arresting Scott Smith for the simple act of insisting on an investigation after his ninth-grade daughter was assaulted in a bathroom by a tranny.
“The only real solution is home schooling or private schooling.”
Well, there are some other steps that could be taken that could definitely improve things even in public schools. For example, we have the technology now where every classroom could be equipped with cameras and microphones and all instruction broadcast to the internet for the public to see. Teachers are public servants as much as the courts or the police, so if they are not doing anything wrong, then they should have nothing to fear from public oversight.

Can you believe this?? WHAT the hell does CRT and social-emotional learning have to do with MATH??? What kind of insanity is this??
This is social emotional learning, I had to look it up. How the hell is this related to math?? And FORTY ONE percent of books are pushing this crap?
"We define social and emotional learning (SEL) as an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions."
"Hi my non-binary offspring, what did they learn at school today?"
"Hi my birthing person, today we learned that we have white privilege and 2 + 2 = 4 and we came to that conclusion through our healthy identity by managing our emotions and empathy for others while we maintained supportive relationships and made a responsible and caring decision!"
i remember when all this silliness in children was called a phase...
and they GOT OVER IT, because nobody indulged them
so they could be their friend/groomer

Thank you Governor DeSantis! Many of the victories for conservatism seem to be coming from the great State of Florida.
Exactly. I doubt that would come naturally until middle school.
See how easy it is to stop spreading hate and discord?
No, the State legislature has been passing many laws curtailing Woke crap, and they do get credit or condemnation in the media. I've seen it many times.
Imagine DeSantis as President.
2024 is coming soon.
Vouchers are still the best answer to the evil that is the public schools. Those parents who want their children to be indoctrinated with this woke insanity can carry the entire financial burden themselves, while everyone else takes their tax money with them and funds true education for their kids. Let the woke morons carry the teachers unions and the bloated public school administrations around on their backs, while sane people get back to providing their children with a normal education.
I agree completely that these freaks that pass for “teachers” these days should be monitored at all times. In fact, they should also be tagged and fitted with tracking collars just for the safety of the general public. From their looks, it appears that many of them have already been captured and tagged before anyway.
On the other hand, we shouldn’t have to constantly devise ways to keep the kids safe from the damned “teachers!” When it gets to that point, the only real solution is to get rid of every last one of them and start over, with a clean sheet of paper and the right morals and principles. It’s ludicrous to think that some mentally deranged millennial “LGBTQAI++” freak with blue hair and a face full of piercings is ever going to be anything less than a mortal danger to any kids placed in her/his/its care, no matter how many guardrails we try to place around them. It’s like dropping your kid off at Jeffrey Dahmer’s house every
Last sentence of the above should have read, “It’s like dropping your kid off at Jeffrey Dahmer’s house every day and hoping that everything will be fine.”
You can’t really do that.
The teachers are public servants but the students are not.
You really can’t put the teachers on TV without also putting the kids on TV unless you put a cameraman in every classroom.
You probably would not be able to get this idea past the teacher’s unions either.
I am all for eliminating the teacher’s unions with extreme prejudice. They have no right to exist. This too would go a great distance in solving educations many problems
Yeah, I guess there would be issues with the kids and privacy rights. Maybe some kind of private site that could only be viewed by parents of children in the class could work. But yeah, the teachers would raise hell over it. They should not be allowed to be unionized in the first place, that is one cause for a lot of the problems in public schools.
How on earth can you make math “woke”?
LaTonya has her boyfriend beat a rival girl to death. How many pints of blood did the rival lose before she died? Show your work, please.
See posts #21 and #30 for examples. Nazi Germany was quite successful in getting this type of crap in school textbooks in the early 1930s.
