Florida Rejects 41% of Math Textbooks for Prohibited Content

Of 132 submitted, the Florida Department of Education has rejected 54 school textbooks for violating state laws prohibiting the inclusion of Common Core and Social-Emotional Learning in Math. Of those, 28 referenced Critical Race Theory, outlawed under Governor Ron DeSantis.

A DOE statement said, "It is unfortunate that several publishers, especially at the elementary school grade levels, have ignored this clear communication."

Publishers can resubmit textbooks for consideration, providing they are updated to align with Florida law.
