Florida is now rejecting math textbooks because of critical race theory.
The Florida Department of Education did not provide any examples when reached for comment. DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw senttwo reasons examples have not been provided. One is that “until [the textbooks] are approved through the competitive bid process, many of these textbooks contain confidential and proprietary content.
“It seems that some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core, and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” DeSantis said last week. “I’m grateful that Commissioner Corcoran and his team at the Department have conducted such a thorough vetting of these textbooks to ensure they comply with the law.
