DeSantis says publishers took 'the woke out' of the math books he banned for containing CRT

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis doubled down on his decision to exclude a record number of math books from classrooms that he said included bits of "woke math."

"These math books — they were doing woke math," DeSantis said, referring to Florida's rejection of dozens of math textbooks in April. His remarks came Friday in Tampa at an event for Moms for Liberty, a conservative nonprofit.

"I'm just thinking to myself, like, two plus two equals four, right? It's not 'two plus two equals, well, how do you feel about that? Is that an injustice?'" he quipped to an audience that responded with laughter.

"No, we gotta teach the kids to get the right answer," he continued as the crowd applauded.

Get the fuck out of here. This woke math was shown to be a hoax.

This guy is one of the leading people to get the GOP nomination in 2024 if the orange tube of lard doesn't. Very scary.

I'd like to see an example of this so-called "woke math."

And trust me, 2 plus 2 will always equal 4. There is no math book that asks how you feel about the answer.
