Can someone simply explain what is this critical race theory?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Talking about anyone other than White people. In all actuality it is the idea that race doesn't exist, it's just something made up by people to exploit other people with different skin color. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Tenets
Yes. Race doesn't exist, which is why we need affirmative action.
The cognitive dissonance you experience is because there is no specific individual supporting these competing ideas.

What's the over-under on how long it takes for this thread to devolve into mud-slinging?
The article is lacking in substance because it does not actually tell you what material in the math books was so egregious that the book deserved to be banned or may be state of Florida did not publish this information. Banning books seems to be the new battle ground for politicians, sigh.
Knowing past history of these types of things in other states I doubt there is much to hang a hat on.

> Who includes education about "intersection of race, society, and law" in mathematical books, for what purpose? That's the thing, they don't. And this is all a farce to line the pockets of some publisher in bed with some lawmakers.
I understand we don't have any evidence supporting Florida's claim, but you don't have any evidence supporting what you said either. I'm inclined to believe Florida until shown otherwise.
You don't need to pick a side. You're allowed to say you don't know.

Consensus is a gradient amongst representatives in a system where compromise is paraded as a feature instead of a bug. The cognitive dissonance you experience is because there is no specific individual supporting these competing ideas.

Some Florida politicians have asked for the info and the media has filed FOIA or the Florida equivalent for the details.
I'd like to see some concrete examples... but if it's truly in there -- good for them! It has absolutely no reason to be in a math textbook.
Exactly, if this is really news worthy, they should be posting examples along with the agenda
What's crazy is that he only won the Governor election by very small margins. He's acting like Florida is a deep red state. It's going to backfire on him IMO.
