Florida's Controversial Textbook Decisions Spark Backlash.

The Florida Department of Education has removed mentions of the Black Lives Matter movement and the police murder of George Floyd from a textbook it reviewed, as part of the state's new policy that bans anything it deems an example of "Critical Race Theory." The state rejected 35% of the 101 social studies textbooks submitted to it by publishers and demanded changes to two-thirds of the textbooks it accepted, including the removal of a mention of athletes kneeling during the national anthem and revisions to a section on socialism in another book.
