So it’s not bad to wrongly teach children that conservatives are racist under the guise of math education?
How is showing statistics teaching that conservatives are racists?

The "statistics" quoted in the book, which say that conservatives and the elderly (65+) are more racist, are from a pretty controversial assessment test and presented in the textbook without much context. While that might be partly true to some extent (I'd imagine that people who grew up under Jim Crow laws are more likely to have some racist tendencies compared to millennials, for example, and the age group of 65+ tends to be more conservative), I'd readily question the validity of those statistics being quoted as well as the decision to include them in a children's math textbook. Surely the authors of the book could have decided to use an example that was from a less controversial study or less damaging topic (unless you think it's reasonable that kids go to school to learn that, and then go home to their parents thinking their grand parents are probably racists).
That's not CRT, but it's understandable why the Florida DoE probably would prefer to use different math textbooks.
I’m not reading the truth behind the Fla math text scandal. The only approved math text is one published by the company that Virginia GOP governor snowflake liar owns!!!!

You're saying that 59% of the math textbooks that were looked at were from one single company that the Virginia governor literally owns and every single one of them were approved? Or are you massive exaggerating and doing everyone a disservice by your proclamation? (honest question)

Everything the left liberals touches turns to crap. I won't be have any part of it. All these liberal run cities are collapsing. Look at Portland and Seattle, crapholes.
Take a look at the poorest states in AmeriKKKa. What do they have in common? Please miss me with that everything liberals touch turns to crap nonsense. RepubliKKKan states are the poorest and dumbest states in this country. Not my opinion….just facts.
Rejected textbooks have no CRT. This is just dumb virtue signaling from the right. Pretend like they are waging war in some insidious enemy… but really just taking issue with a some math textbooks that tell kids to try hard (which doesn’t really help). It never mattered the actual content of the books, just that they could claim it was fighting to terrifying CRT boogeyman. And of course dozens of posters in this thread fell for it and went into a frenzy of righteous rage (“taking our country back!!”).
What was inside the books that might have offended the state reviewers? The Tampa Bay Times examined several titles on the initial rejected list, using copies that were provided to school districts during the adoption process. Here’s what we found:
Kissinger responded, unprompted, by raising the education issue. “A minimum condition for great achievement for a society is to believe in its purposes and in its historical record. And if the educational system of a country becomes increasingly focused on the shortcomings of its history and less on the purposes of the society, then its capacity to act internationally will be diverted into its internal struggles,” Kissinger said.
