Reasons for rejecting textbooks included references to critical race theory, 'inclusions of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics,' the release states.
The Florida Department of Education announced Friday that the state has rejected more than 50 math textbooks from next school year's curriculum, citing references to critical race theory among reasons for the rejections.
Reasons for rejecting textbooks included references to critical race theory,"inclusions of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning in mathematics," the release states. According to the ban, instruction in schools must be"factual and objective." It specifically prohibits"theories that distort historical events" -- including"the teaching of Critical Race Theory, meaning the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons.
Despite rejecting 41% of materials submitted, every core mathematics course and grade is covered with at least one textbook, the release said.
