Florida Approves Dozens of Edited Social Studies Textbooks, Rejects Others Over Race and Social Justice

Florida rejected 82 submitted social studies textbooks due to "inaccurate material" and information that did not align with state law.
The state worked with publishers to make changes to 66 textbooks before approving them, but still rejected 35.
Governor Ron DeSantis campaigned against "woke indoctrination" and leftist ideas in Florida classrooms.
The approved textbooks will shape how 3 million Florida public school students learn history.
Florida's approvals and rejections of textbooks often influence what students in other states learn.
