9:24Now PlayingFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis tries to brush off the surfaced citations for why he rejected math textbooks claiming there was CRT indoctrination involved. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.

DeSantis accused textbooks of ‘indoctrination.’ Here’s what he meant.
"Last month, Florida’s Education Department accused publishers of trying to “indoctrinate” the state’s students through proposed math textbooks, alleging that they were sneaking in material, forbidden by the state, about social-emotional learning, Common Core standards or “critical race theory.” School boards are restricted in using state money to purchase these books.
“Some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core, and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said in an April statement. The Education Department said it rejected 41 percent of books — “the most in Florida’s history.” At least 24 of the titles scored high marks from official state reviewers for conforming to Florida standards but were turned down anyway."
