What is wrong with y'all in that country

[Severus Snape]

I'm sorry but why is a math text book talking about race? Or what is the Critical Race theory?

Girl, it could be 2+2=4 and American conservatives would be saying that it's grooming and pushing a communist agenda. 

 

My guess is that quite a few of them used statistics ties to social groups or something for long-form questions (which isn't unusual at all) and that immediately banned them.

I refuse to support that state with tourist dollars

This is a worksheet created by an 11th grade high school teacher discussing human trafficking and the life of Maya Angelou. 

 

Going from TERF to full-in QAnon "anti-CRT" conspiracy extremist who thinks gay people are pedophiles is one hell of an arch.

Insanity

[dabunique]

i heard they were rejected because of one of DeathSantis's supporters wants to have da exclusive in math book texts and those books that were denied r from a rival text book company lol

 

i have never heard of math books being banned, especially over CRT lol

[Kamil24]

huh? isn't math just numbers?

[katykater]

How close is the US to burning every single book they don't agree with?

[UnusualBoy]

Florida stays being one of a state  

[Pie-kun]

People have finally got their hands on the textbooks that were banned and this is what they had that was said to be 'divisive' and 'critical race theory'

 

 

 

[Ichinaru19]

Dictator teas, conservatives are a mess.

[Lost In Paradise]

People that WRITE the textbooks, like many teachers, have over-rotated on shoving "social-conscious" rhetoric into places where it just feels excessive.

 

it's literally nothing like that user above's exaggeration that Florida "disagrees" with 2+2=4 now
