Florida Bans Math Textbooks. Won't Provide Examples of Why Textbooks were Banned

That is what the headline should be for EVERY story about this ban.

The fact that the media simply accepts what the state has told them is an example of how fucked up "journalism" is today.

Every story explains that the state provided no examples, but it does so in paragraph 70 of 73.

The bigger story here is NOT that the books were banned. It's that the state provided no examples or details.
