Ron Desanti's Problem With Math Textbooks

from Politico Buzz · host Rene Hinojosa

So, Desantis claims that publishers use math textbooks to indoctrinate elementary school students with "race essentialism," which is how right-wing activists characterize CRT. I know it sounds crazy but this is the world that Republicans want us to live in now, a world field with paranoia and xenophobia. However, there was one big problem with Ronnys' claim: It was completely and unequivocally false. It was false because no reviewer of Florida math textbooks for elementary school students found any instances of CRT. The truth is that each of the reviewers explicitly stated that they did not find any instances of CRT.
