The FDA halted the use of the Governor's favorite coronaviruses treatments because they were deemed useless against the omicron variant. On Friday, the governor of Florida claimed that he has a "woke math's" number. The Republican criticized the form of mathematics in a speech to the conservative group Moms for Liberty. It was not clear whatoke math is. He said it was math with no regard for correct calculations. 2 plus 2 is equal to 4. How do you feel about that? He asked if that was an injustice. I don't think so. The kids need to be taught to get the correct answer. Florida sent "woke math" textbooks back to publishers, he claimed. They woke us up and gave us normal math books. WATCH: Gov.

It was a head-scratcher for the man.
Thousands of textbooks were sent by the Florida Department of Education to publishers earlier this year. In the case of math textbooks, it wasn't because lessons were taking a "whatever" approach to calculations
Four pages of "woke math" were shown to the press in April by the education department. A bar graph shows that people over the age of 65 are more likely to express prejudice against minorities.
The move was part of ongoing conservative efforts in Florida to restrict any teaching in schools about racism or the lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer community.
The Washington Post reported that one of hundreds of Floridians reviewing school textbooks in the state earlier this year told the Education Department that its restrictions were irrelevant to a math textbook.
Some people think someone needs a better education.
