Florida has rejected 54 of the 132 math books submitted for use as part of the state’s 2022-23 curriculum, a move praised by Gov. Ron DeSantis for identifying references to critical race theory, Common Core, and social emotional learning.
The Florida Department of Education announced Friday that the majority of the rejected math books were for grades K-5. “Despite rejecting 41 percent of materials submitted, every core mathematics course and grade is covered with at least one textbook,” the Department of Education said.
“It is unfortunate that several publishers, especially at the elementary school grade levels, have ignored this clear communication and have attempted to slip rebranded instructional materials based on Common Core Standards into Florida’s classrooms, while others have included prohibited and divisive concepts such as the tenants of CRT or other unsolicited strategies of indoctrination — despite FDOE’s prior notification,” the Department of Education said.
Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani blasted the Department of Education’s rejection, poking at mathematical symbols, such as brackets and the equal sign, as representative of Republican problems. I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida Republican leaders are preparing to ban Algebra from high schools. They object to the subliminal use of [brackets] as an indoctrination to the concept of inclusion, they don't like the equal sign, and they hate solving problems! 🤣"I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida Republican leaders are preparing to ban Algebra from high schools,” Eskamani tweeted.
