\u2018It\u2019s amazing what happens when you speak clearly and you hold folks accountable\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public school textbook publishers who signed up for the leftist \u201cwokeism\u201d agenda, including having ideological concepts like critical race theory and social emotional learning in their books, are finding out that that decision is biting back.<\/p>\n

Because in some states those publications aren\u2019t even being considered for use.<\/p>\n

Dan Hart at the Washington Stand<\/a> reports that eight publications recently were withdrawn from consideration in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

And in Florida officials said they have rejected 54 out of 132 textbooks for failing to meet the state\u2019s standards, the report said.<\/p>\n

All of those texts were in math.<\/p>\n

The report said the withdrawal of eight books pending before the Oklahoma State Department of Education was the result of a 2020 state law that adds a layer of review to determine if texts are \u201cof poor quality or contain controversial ideologies,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma Supt. Ryan Walters told \u201cWashington Watch with Tony Perkins\u201d that it was just a matter of using common sense standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing what happens when you speak clearly and you hold folks accountable,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe have been very clear \u2014 we are not going to allow woke indoctrination or classroom. We\u2019re going to get back to a focus on the basics. \u2026 [O]ur parents have spoken loudly and clearly: get the woke ideology out, help our kids learn to read and do math. And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said lawmakers decided the state would not do CRT in classrooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to allow all this sexualized material into the classroom, either,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The report explained such situations, already evident in Oklahoma and Florida, are growing.<\/p>\n

Florida already confirmed 54 of the 132 proposed math texts were rejected for failing to meet the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking Standards or included CRT and SEL concepts.<\/p>\n

Walters continued, \u201c[I]t\u2019s a multi-faceted effort to get this ideology out of schools. Number one, you\u2019ve got to go get it out of your public schools. \u2026 But number two, you\u2019ve got to get more of an ability for kids to go to private and Christian schools if their parents want them to. And so we have the first Christian charter school in the country that\u2019s going to open up here in Oklahoma. \u2026 [T]hese Christian schools, you\u2019re not going to see them wanting to go push some kind of radical atheist ideology. \u2026 [G]ive parents the opportunity to send their kids to Christian schools so that your kid is going to have a great education and not have this type of left-wing ideology in their day-to-day school.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the state is not hurting for the lack of access to a couple of books, either.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]here\u2019s plenty of great materials out there. I mean, there [are] plenty of conservatives and Christians that are putting together materials. \u2026 The Left lost their mind here in Oklahoma when we made Prager University available statewide for every student [and] parent. \u2026 [T]here\u2019s plenty of great material out there that talk about our founding. There\u2019s plenty of great math material that can help students read on grade level. We\u2019re never going to be held captive by woke companies trying to dictate to our state what our education system is going to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said getting education \u201cback on track\u201d is just a matter of rejecting the teachers\u2019 union\u2019s ideologies about wokeism, and embracing parents.<\/p>\n
