In a news release, the department stated 54 out of 132 of the textbook submissions would not be added to the state’s adopted list because they did not adhere to Florida’s new standards or contained prohibited topics. The release said the list of rejected books makes up approximately 41% of submissions, which is the most in Florida’s history. 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. CNN has requested the list of book submissions, the titles that were rejected and the reasons for those rejections. Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Monday there were different reasons for the books being rejected and officials aimed to “focus the education on the actual strong academic performance of the students.”" *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
