According to the @nytimes, the textbook banning stuff is getting worse. They’re now banning textbooks for being too emotional supportive I guess???
This is example from a textbook that’s banned in Florida.
“Math is about getting the right answer. It’s not about how you feel about the problem.”
NYT quotes Florida Governor DeSantis as saying.
