Florida’s Department of Education has rejected more than 50 math textbooks for the upcoming school year, claiming that instructional materials incorporated “critical race theory” and the “unsolicited addition” of social-emotional learning concepts.
The department said that 54 out of 132 of submitted textbooks, or roughly 41 per cent, were “impermissible” with state standards or contained “prohibited topics” such as critical race theory, a high-level academic framework that addresses systemic racism in institutions.
