The Florida Department of Education quietly posted a few examples of what it found objectionable, six days after rejecting dozens of math textbooks because of concerns about impermissible content. There is one item that reads, "What?" Me? Racist? The Implicit Association Test has been used by more than 2 million people. Mitchell said she could see how that question might lead to a heated conversation in her community. She reacted differently to the state's example. The goal of the lesson was to have students build a sense of social awareness as they practice empathizing with their classmates. Mitchell said that it would be fine, really and truly. She said that helping students advocate for themselves and feel confident about their work is positive. Strategies for teaching students how to manage their emotions are referred to as social-emotional learning. The state cited it as one of the two prohibited topics that it recommended that school districts not use. The other topic was critical race theory, an academic term that Gov. Ron DeSantis and others have adapted for their own use as they discuss social and historical issues surrounding race, which they have said are accusatory and divisive. The Department of Education stated on its instructional materials page that members of the public complained about the questions during a two-week commenting period in January about proposed math books. The examples do not represent an extensive list of input received by the Department. An associate professor with the University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education said that the state needs to give more examples and explain them. He said that it was not clear what the problem was that caused the books to be canceled. It raises more questions. The books that are on the state's list of rejected titles are not linked to the posted questions. It's not clear what grades the books were written for. The department avoids answering the bigger criticism by giving a small number of the most egregious items. Skeptics questioned whether any of the 54 rejected books contained the offending material that the governor and others claimed appeared in them. The items were released on Thursday to counter the critics who accused Republican leaders of manufacturing a controversy to advance a political agenda. As part of their initial announcement, DeSantis and his team argued that textbook publishers were trying to get children to read. The publishers were caught off guard by the allegations and were confused by them. The department sent two emails to the publishers. They were told that the list of approved math books had been posted online, and that they could appeal the decisions if they wanted. Savvas and Big Ideas Learning are two publishers that intend to seek additional reviews from the state. Several Florida school districts are reconsidering the titles they have already adopted or plan to approve based on the state's announcement. They don't have to buy books from the state approved list, but they can use half of their state funding for instructional materials that aren't on the state approved list.
