"Florida bans 28 math textbooks in panic over Critical Race Theory"
"The state of Florida is rejecting 28 mathematics textbooks as a result
of Republicans' purported outrage over Critical Race Theory.
On Friday, Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran announced
that the state had rejected the math textbooks under the state's
Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) standards.
"The approved list followed a thorough review of submissions at the Department, which found 41 percent of the submitted textbooks were impermissible with either Florida’s new standards or contained
prohibited topics – the most in Florida’s history. Reasons for rejecting textbooks included references to Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusions
of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional
Learning (SEL) in mathematics," the department announced."

Good for Florida. This is why our children are behind the world in STEM education. Get the woke out of education.
Our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots LIKE TRUMP

I'm guessing it's the wording for some "word problems"
But it's mostly political posturing by the GOP
