Read the article I posted and then continue your research.
There were 80 books approve... "Most textbooks that will not be allowed for use by Florida public schools were for students in elementary grades kindergarten through fifth grade."
The reason for rejecting the 54 was given in the article:
He said he was “grateful” that Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran and the FDOE “have conducted such a thorough vetting of these textbooks to ensure they comply with the law.”
In praising DeSantis’ leadership, Corcoran said “we continue to reinforce parents’ rights by focusing on providing their children with a world-class education without the fear of indoctrination or exposure to dangerous and divisive concepts in our classrooms.”

Looks like you may have fall victim to old age, stubbornness and whatever it is that Daffy suffers from....
Magoo, what is it that concerns you so about Florida school books?
Looking forward to Daffy's answer.

It appears that you have still not posted any examples of the banned content or even the titles of the banned books.

I don't recall you saying a peep about TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD when it was banned.
What about THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN when it was banned by various schools and libraries?
OF MICE AND MEN has been banned in some communities because of "profanity". That's fucked up. Where was your concern?

I could go on, but my point of your hypocrisy & ignorance is apparent.

When those books were "banned", people could read the content and decide for themselves whether the criticism was appropriate.

Not so in Florida.

Please continue. You're doing great. No one is laughing at you.

Please continue. everyone is laughing at you Magoo....

Not surprised you're drawing a blank when it comes to TEXT books...
You've never been asked your thoughts on text books used by your children.
Wonder how many text books were looked at and rejected for whatever reason that you were never aware of....

For what it's worth, Florida ranks third in the country for k-12 education

You ok? I’m worried about you. You are making less sense than usual . . . and that’s saying something.

That's an interesting point and you could say that 41% of the Math books that helped FL achieve a rank of #3 for k-12 education have now been banned, which seems weird. Actually, the fact that they are Math books, and the headline is saying its CRT related is what I find really weird.

TBH, as I said above, I'm intrigued as to the reason (headlines aside) and find it extremely odd that I can't find the actual list of books anywhere, never mind the rationale per book. I do think that if someone, somewhere, could find CRT in Math books K-5 (!!), then I expect that their review of the Social Studies books will be close to cleaning house.

Censorship is just bad, irrespective of who is doing it, however, if you are going to do it, then at least be transparent and put it all out there.

Well, they did ban prayer time and the Pledge. I say give each kid 15 minutes of "Special" time for Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation, Yoga or just some Quiet Time to reflect on the day.

Every text book used, be it elementary or high school is reviewed.
Do think Magoo could submit a "text book" and have it used in class without a review?
Math books, history books, English books, foreign language....all get reviewed and some are chosen and some are rejected.

Seems as if the reasoning for banning or not choosing these books is addressed below.
.....More than half the textbooks being disallowed incorporated “prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT,” while others were not allowed because publishers “rebranded” Common Core Standards. ....

Daffy, as usual, you stick you nose where it does not belong...
Once again you are following me way to close and once again you have your nose stuck up my ass, don't worry, what you seem to be concerned with is my sphincter...
F'n pinhead.

But no one, not you, the Florida DOE, or any of the offended publishers, has shown any actual examples of any offending text.

You seem to be content to accept the word of your corporate overlords without question.

Lying appears to be Your full time job.
 
State Textbook Adoption
Textbook Adoption: California adopts instructional materials for students in grades 1 through 8 (CAL. EDUC. CODE § 60200-60206). The governing board of each school district maintaining one or more high schools adopts instructional materials for use in the high schools under its control (CAL. EDUC. CODE § 60400-60048). Curriculum frameworks provide guidance for implementing the content standards adopted by the state board of education. Frameworks are developed by the Instructional Quality Commission, formerly known as the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission, which also reviews and recommends textbooks and other instructional materials to be adopted by the state board of education.


Textbook Adoption: Florida adopts textbooks at the state level. Each school year, no later than April 15, the commissioner of education appoints state instructional materials committees composed of individuals actively engaged in teaching, or in the supervision of teaching, in the public elementary, middle, or high schools and representing the major fields and levels in which instructional materials are used in the public schools (FLA. STAT. ANN. § 1006.29).

Do you have some examples of elementary mathematics textbooks that were rejected by the State of California?
