FTR, I'm sick of all the crap.

We can safely assume DeSantis is just playing politics. But is he playing to his Florida voters or to the FauxNews-watching wider public?

Florida: According to the 2020 census, the racial distributions are as follows; 51.5% Non-Hispanic White, 14.5% African American , 2.9% Asian American, .2% native American. 26.6% of the Population are Hispanics or Latino (of any race). (Wikipediia)
Florida also has a lot of old people.

How does the Hispanic/Latino population react to CRT issues? Do they care one way or the other? My experience with my Hispanic students is that many of them are very sympathetic to Black Lives Matter.

Not so much, and you really lost them with the 'defund the police' riff. And they hate being referred to as Latinx.

Everything being experienced in Florida politics that progressives hate, they themselves have a strong hand in initiating.

When you say "I don't think parents should decide what or how students should be taught" you are setting the stage for someone to say "Hello parents. How do you feel? I'm running for office, and I'd like to know.' Any smart, no, any politician of average astuteness should capitalize on that opportunity.

I'm looking forward to when the AP College Board starts rejecting their math courses.

Many hands make light work.

How does the Hispanic/Latino population react to CRT issues?

Shhh, no one's doing any CRT, remember?

They sure aren't in K-12 math texts.

Colleges and universities are rejecting the SAT's!

My favorite way of dealing with disagreements is to decentralize decision making. [Voucherizing everything in K-12 would be best.] Minimizes conflict. But neither large political party subscribes to such a view.

So why I are we talking about it?

Did you read the questions?

3. Angelou was sexually abused by her mother's (boyfriend, brother, father) at age 8, which shaped her career choices and motivation for writing.

4. Trying to support her son as a single mother, she worked as a pimp, prostitute, and (bookie, drug dealer, night club dancer).


Not exactly sure what bringing this stuff has to do with math at whatever grade level this is.

Thank god I was not forced to learn about such awful things as ""sketch the graph of the degenerate conic."  Kudos to deSantis for shielding innocent students from being exposed to such degeneracy in math textbooks.

I cannot access the entire questions.  Would you post at least one complete question?  Not doubting you.  Just want to know what folks are talking about.
