I’d really be interested in seeing what it is that Florida is calling “CRT” in a math book.  Really.  Maybe Kobe ended up with more apples than Kristie? /s

It does stand out that examples and titles aren’t listed — so their judgments can’t be assessed at all, let alone assessed accurately.  
So “CRT” now means whatever these Republican politicians want it to mean, and they’re using their personal standards to impact the education of millions of students with no explicit standards or opportunities for assessment. This is America folks.

Yes, I’m shocked, SHOCKED that the Florida Department of Education did not provide examples.[/quote]

They have now.

I have less of an issue with the materials on any racial/political grounds than I do with the use of non-zero-based y-axis in the charts, that's terrible data viz 101 and makes the charts quite misleading. There are some cases where non-zero-based is fine and can be made quite clear, but this is basically a direct example of what not to do.[/quote]
