Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) defended the Florida Department of Education for rejecting dozens of books due to what it says is the infusion of Common Core and Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended the Florida Department of Education for rejecting dozens of books due to what it says is the infusion of Common Core and Critical Race Theory , as the governor made it clear that such material “doesn’t meet the standards” in the Sunshine State.
“I mean one of the criticisms was the parents couldn’t help their kids with the math homework,” he said, explaining that any books that “don’t meet the B.E.S.T. standards are not going to be appropriate for us to use.” “But second, you know, math is about getting the right answer, and we want kids to learn to think so they get the right answer. It’s not about how you feel about the problem or to introduce some of these other things,” he said.
The governor explained that most of the rejected books happened to be those in the early grades, but he made it clear that his administration is going to “continue to focus on the education, on the actual strong academic performance of the students.”
