Florida rejects 41% of math textbooks for including CRT, most aimed at K-5 students: 'Impermissible'

Florida's Department of Education (DOE) rejected 41% of mathematics textbooks submitted for use in the state's public schools Friday, citing critical race theory and other issues with the texts.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has led a push to reform education standards and practices in the state. Florida called for textbook submissions from publishers in 2021 in accordance with a 2019 executive order from DeSantis aimed at eliminating Common Core standards in the state. The textbooks rejected "were impermissible with either Florida’s new standards or contained prohibited topics."

The 41% rejection rate was the highest in Florida's history. ................

Nobody within the educational system has the right to propagandize or indoctrinate students with their personal beliefs, ideologies, or religion, especially objective topics like math and science.

Teachers nor anyone else have 1st Amendment freedom of speech or any kind of 'academic freedom' kind of standing to do so. You are to teach the curriculum as is.

This is where states need to lock down their education system and make teachers do their actual job.

They should reprint math textbooks from the 1940's or so, and use them.

Hmmm...
Same for reading, history, just about everything.
