The Florida Department of Education released examples of why it rejected certain math textbooks, claiming it promoted “prohibited topics”.

. In both of these examples, students are asked to interpret data, showing levels of racial prejudice. This kind of math is typically taught in eight or ninth grade algebra.

Speaking in South Florida, surrounded by students carrying “stop woke” and “stop CRT” signs -- which stands for Critical Race Theory -- DeSantis on Friday signed into law the Stop WOKE Act. The legislation restricts how workplaces and classrooms handle discussions about race. “I don’t think these are real issues. I don’t think there’s any evidence to really back it up. I think they’re feeling pressure because everyone’s going, ‘What are you talking about critical race theory and math?’” Spar said.

DeSantis says eliminating language like this in math questions gives students freedom from indoctrination.

So reporter Judd Legum tracked down the textbooks to find out what's really inside. 🤩🤩🤩❤❤😍😍❤❤🤩🤩🤩 If math affected me it didn't work. And the books I was allowed to read didn't turn me into a monster.
