Ron DeSantis (R) said in the press release.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m grateful that Commissioner Corcoran and his team at the Department have conducted such a thorough vetting of these textbooks to ensure they comply with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the release, of the 54 rejected books, 21 percent were due to having \u201cunsolicited strategies,\u201d including Critical Race Theory. Another 11 percent were not included because they do not align with Florida\u2019s educational standards and include Critical Race Theory. Additionally, nine percent do not meet Florida\u2019s standards outright.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to ensure that Florida has the highest-quality instructional materials aligned to our nationally-recognized standards,\u201d Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran said.\u00a0\u201cWhen it comes to education, other states continue to follow Florida\u2019s lead as we continue to reinforce parents\u2019 rights by focusing on providing their children with a world-class education without the fear of indoctrination or exposure to dangerous and divisive concepts in our classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_16694030\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/classroom-students-elementary-middle-school-raise-hands-getty-images.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16694030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/classroom-students-elementary-middle-school-raise-hands-getty-images.jpg\" alt=\"Back view of elementary student raising arm in order to answer a questing during a class.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drazen Zigic\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Overall, 71 percent of books submitted for grades K-5 were rejected, while 20 percent of 6-8 books were rejected, and 35 percent of 9-12 books were rejected.<\/p>\n<p>The press release implies a certain level of deliberate action on the part of the book publishers to try to inject the indoctrination into Florida\u2019s schools after the DeSantis administration\u2019s outright repudiation of the schemes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate that several publishers, especially at the elementary school grade levels, have ignored this clear communication and have attempted to slip rebranded instructional materials based on Common Core Standards into Florida\u2019s classrooms,\u201d the press release said. \u201cOthers have included prohibited and divisive concepts, such as the tenants of CRT or other unsolicited strategies of indoctrination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida Democrats appear to be up-in-arms about the rejections, with state Rep.
