Just noticed that after putting a certain poster back on ignore that some threads now aren’t immediately accessible? Threads not started under that moniker? Is that a multiple alias tell?
 
Florida Department of Education has just banned almost half of proposed elementary school mathematics textbooks for featuring "unsolicited material".

From the Newsweek article about the ban -- "The DOE did not include a list of the rejected books or provide any examples of how they held references to CRT or other "unsolicited" materials."
 
Florida nixes dozens of math textbooks over critical race theory, Common Core standards

.....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. ....

....
The headline in FDOE’s press release over the banned textbooks emphasized DeSantis’ stance: “Florida Rejects Publishers’ Attempts to Indoctrinate Students.”

“It seems that some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core, and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” said DeSantis in a statement accompanying the FDOE statement.

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.”

From Fox & Friends
"The highest number of books rejected were for grade levels K-5, where an alarming 71 percent were not appropriately aligned with Florida standards or included prohibited topics and unsolicited strategies," the DOE said in the announcement.

"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 DOE also noted that publishers can appeal their rejections.

Examples of what?
Your apparent inability to research your own questions and concerns?
The answers are out there & available to those who honestly seek them Magoo.
I suggest using more than one source when searching for answers to your questions...
Otherwise you may fall victim to old age, stubbornness and whatever it is that Daffy suffers from.
Happy Easter.

You know how LE rolls or should I say stumbles and bumbles his way around. Not a lot of thought on lying eyes part, just emotional reactions and easily debunked propaganda from his favorite sources.

Social Studies is up next in a week or so. It is very odd how difficult it is to find the specific list of books and the specific reason why each one was rejected.

Banning books, the new burning books.
Yeah, I'm intrigued as to how CRT is/was allegedly in 41% of Math books in FL, esp. K-5, given that CRT is an optional college level course afaik.

Censorship from any side is bad. It's not new though (in the US), and you only censor things that you are afraid of.

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:

Looks like you may have fallen 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.

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.

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