I could also imagine it being something much more benign. I really wish we could see what it actually was so we could see if the DoE's judgement here was reasonable or not.
That does seems a bit unnecessary example since there is high racial tensions and the book is supposed to be about math. You could just use another example in that case. If it was about cases like that, I might just agree with them being rejected.

Agree, seems weird to not show people what the problem was if it's easy to justify. But then again, a lot of judicial, government and politics from America seems weird to me so...
It would be so nice if politicians could show us precisely what they're protecting our children from, so we wouldn't need to rely on HideousKojima's imagination for examples.
I don't get it. What's so remarkable about "HideousKojima" (Hideo Kojima?)'s games?

Title may as well have been "dear leader protects children".
That's the thing, they don't. And this is all a farce to line the pockets of some publisher in bed with some lawmakers.
That Florida made the active decision to not release the names of the books is a bit strange, don't you think?
Seems like an open government would want to provide their citizens with the details of their decisions instead of hiding it.
You don't need to pick a side. You're allowed to say you don't know.
I also understand that including critical race theory in math books seems wildly irrelevant (unless I miss something) and therefor not fit for the curriculum. But I'm interested to hear how that happens in the first place? Who includes education about "intersection of race, society, and law" in mathematical books, for what purpose? Shouldn't that belong to some other educational program instead, like society or history classes?
