Florida’s Department of Education banned 41% of the math textbooks intended for public schools. The reason? These math textbooks contained critical race theory and social-emotional learning. When asked about this event, Governor DeSantis responded that they wanted education, not indoctrination.
From Fox News:
“Today there are too many politicians trying to score political points, trying to ban books–even math books,” Biden said Wednesday during the annual National and State Teachers of the Year award ceremony.
The president appeared to be referring to the Florida Department of Education’s decision to bar 41% of math textbooks for public schools they claimed included critical race theory and “social-emotional learning.” Nine of these books were reinstated after the publishers scrubbed the prohibited content.
“Did you ever think when you’re teaching you’d be worrying about book burnings and banning books all because it doesn’t fit somebody’s political agenda?” Biden added at the time.
Speaking from Orlando Thursday, DeSantis was asked by Laura Ingraham about the apparent “pot shot” from Biden and said that “we draw a hard line in Florida” regarding education.
“We want education, we do not want indoctrination,” DeSantis said before he was cut off by a long round of applause from the audience.
DeSantis added that his administration believes parents have a “fundamental role” in their children’s upbringing and education while Biden and his administration believe parents should “butt out” so schools can indoctrinate “what they think your kid should learn or believe.”
“This is a huge debate in our country–it’s sad that it is,” DeSantis continued.
“Why would you not want parents involved? But they don’t want parents involved because they know that will represent an obstacle to them indoctrinating them the way they want.”

Save the kids.
Any nation that perverts its children does not stay a nation for long.
I had a difficult time with math because of race.
My professor was Chinese and spoke broken English.
If it were not for the fact that math is a universal language
on its own I would not have stood a chance.
And don’t get me started on Thermodynamics and heat power.
You can have enthalpy as part of the equations but where the
fuck does equity fit in? And what is its math symbol?
LOL
When I took college-freshman-level government during my 2nd or 3rd year of my “Senior year” (I crammed 4 years into 6.5) I had a professor from South Africa. British English was his 2nd language. He was attempting to teach American Government. Needless to say, his accent was so thick you needed a sawzall to cut it.
I had, due to my raising, a broad familiarity with non-native English speaker, and managed to figure out what he was saying. The other freshmen, however, were at a loss.
It didn’t help that his “filler word” was not “uh” or “mmmm” or some similar sound, but “Probably”.
It also didn’t help that he did not understand that there were multiple meanings to some words.
I beat a “A” out of him – mostly because professors no longer over-awed me.
I can imagine trying to learn math in that environment.
Well gee whiz, the leftards constantly do ALL they can to censor our side discussing with other adults, but halting their crusades to indoctrinate children makes US the bad guys? Meh, fuck the left once more.
The Legion of Groomers are being exposed and they don’t like sunshine!
FJB and all the enablers too!
When it comes to educating kids, perhaps Biden should consider a more ‘hands off’ approach?
(rimshot!)
According to the gigantic turd occupying the white house, neutrality is bad and akin to ‘political agenda’ ‘book burning’.
But injecting social animus into finding the square root of your mom is good?
Florida or Texas, whoever exits the Union first: I’m there!
When I started school, this shit was unheard of. The 3 R’s were taught back then and the teachers were either called MR or MRS
Okay when Democrats do it, of course.
Call me crazy but my math books had nothing but numbers, sometimes an x or two, and lots of angles. I pretty much bombed math, but not because I was learning about the teacher’s off duty habits.
