It doesn't have to be in a text book DUmbass.  Teachers have been recorded verbally saying it.

DUmmie, go ask the parents that have seen/heard this tripe being "taught". I mean, they aren't going to the meetings to vent their displeasure for no reason, right?

Just one of the many questions that prove CRT is being taught.

1. If Felonious applies for three jobs, and he only gets a call back for one, what percentage of the interviewers are racist, cracker arse motherfrickers?

The OP is referring to the Florida Department of Education rejecting textbooks deemed to be in violation of Florida standards

Most people get it wrong by answering 66.6% BTW.

From the linked article:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - After a high-profile announcement Friday about rejecting math textbooks submitted for adoption by the state, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education are providing few details about how the books violated state academic standards.

The Department of Education on Friday said the books did not make an initial adoption list because they included "prohibited topics" or were inconsistent with state standards. The department said 54 of 132 submitted textbooks, or 41%, were rejected.

The textbook approval process in many/most states is basically a sausage-making exercise. Books are submitted: those approved can be bought; those rejected can be edited to satisfy concerns and resubmitted, or the publisher can walk away. The phrase, "initial adoption list" signifies that the publishers can choose to edit and resubmit.

In some states - e.g. CA - special interest activists infest the evaluation process and use it to get their ideology//social views injected into texts that eventually get approved. Because some states, instead of doing their own evaluation, simply authorize the use of texts approved by the State of ______, what CA accepts might be the default texts in other states. Conversely the texts adopted by the State of FL might be some other states' defaults.

Florida Tosses Math Textbooks over Critical Race Theory, Common Core Content

The department announced Friday that 54 textbooks would be removed from elementary and pre-school classrooms after their publishers’ requests for approval were denied. Of these, 28 were denied for including “critical race theory” concepts, the department said. Critical race theory, per Florida law, is an ideology which makes students “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of…race, color, sex, or national origin.” In March, the Florida legislature passed the ‘Stop W.O.K.E. Act’ to ban its instruction in public schools, a measure awaiting Governor Ron DeSantis’ signature.

Additionally, the Department rejected 26 textbooks which, per Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, ran afoul of the state’s “Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking” (B.E.S.T.) standards, which emphasize “reading, writing, and arithmetic.” These standards were promulgated by the Department in 2021, after DeSantis issued an executive order to ban federal ‘Common Core’ education standards in the state, previously adopted during the Obama Administration.

Some of the rejected textbooks were submitted by McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Savvas Learning Company (formerly known as Pearson K12 Learning) – national education publishing houses, whose math textbooks are in use in several other states.

The decision leaves Florida’s schools with the option to use textbooks produced by one publisher: Accelerate Learning. Based out of Houston, Texas, the company claimed its textbooks were “built from the ground up to the Florida B.E.S.T,” in partnership with Rice University. ...
