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

  I think we can all know why examples aren't being included, it's just egregious politicizing for personal gain. DeSantis wants to run for President, all these moves just improve his chances at winning the primary. 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.

    He's got a 54% approval rating as opposed to 38% disapproval. He's also running at 58% approval among independents. Finally, he is also polling double digits against any potential Democrat challenger. Pretty clear his policies have been popular with most Floridians.

      He won by less than 40k votes (something like less than half a percent) [1], I’m sorry but that’s a dangerous game to play if you want to win general elections. Polls this early don’t matter, polls the weeks before election does. This is nothing but political grand standing. Also independent voters are a misnomer. Independents will typically vote for their preferred party the majority of the time, they're still partisans they just don't vote in primaries.

If a parent finds something goes against their beliefs should they be able to stop their kids from learning about it in school?

  That isn't quite on the nose: if a parent finds something goes against their beliefs should they be able to stop everybody's kids from learning about it in school?

    I should have provided more context, some states allow parents to opt kids out of individual subsets of classes such as sex education and the like.
