In a news release, the department stated that 54 out of 132 of the textbook submissions would not be added to the state's adopted list because they did not adhere to Florida's new standards or contained prohibited topics. The release said the list of rejected books makes up approximately 41% of submissions, which is the most in Florida's history.
