Kimmel on Florida Math Textbook Ban: DeSantis Is Making Sure that Fractions Are Between One Numerator and One Denominator Only

RUSH EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: “On Friday, the Florida department of education announced the state has rejected dozens of math textbooks, because, among other nely-banned subject matter, they claim some of these books make reference to Critical Race Theory. If you don’t know what Critical Race Theory is, don’t worry, neither does Governor Ron DeSantis. Thanks to his important work, Florida has rejected more than 50 math books. After the team uncovered sentence problems like, “jamal has seven apples.” They felt “jamal” sounded suspicious. And where did he get the apples? Does he have a receipt for them? Some of these books stay with us binomials, polynomials, really gross stuff. Ron DeSantis wants to make sure that fractions are between one numerator and one denominator.”
