Not what I am doing at all.
I'm simply asking for a pointer to an actual textbook for K-12 math instruction that contains the problematic CRT. There must be one, right? This isn't just some "I have a list" political stunt, surely? None of the news stories or press releases contain any real specifics, there's some noise about that worksheet, and that's about it.
It appears they provided a list for anyone interested: KM_C454e-20220418122343 (fldoe.org)

Ah ha! Thanks Alan!
By "special topics" in the chart, I'm guessing they mean CRT and other such things? Pity they didn't give a breakdown.
Ah ha again, here's their criteria:

Ha, it seems that I found the list in under a minute, which you then reviewed and found the underlying criteria in under five, maybe it's not that difficult or such a mystery after all.

Now to find the problematic text within one of these.
I’m just surprised that if you sincerely look for it you couldn’t find one since it now seems to exist.
Well, I did spend some time looking, but my Google-fu was clearly not up to snuff, compared to Alan's. Happens somesdays.
Perhaps you are implying that I lied to you about looking?
In any event, I'm still curious about examples of the text within the book that is causing these issues.
The criteria you referenced seemed like a pretty exhaustive list of requirements in order to be approved as part of an official curriculum. I'm sure other states do the same so I'm saving my curiosity for why Florida was singled out for disapproval.

Maybe it has something to do with Florida's press conference on the subject where they announced they had eliminated many mathematics textbooks because they contained "critical race theory" and other such things?
Now, how many other states ban "Social Emotional Learning", "Social Justice", "Culturally Responsive Teaching", and "Critical Race Theory"?
The "Special Topics" Florida lists are:
1. Critical Race Theory: Do materials align to Rule 6A-1.094124, F.A.C., which prohibits Critical
Race Theory (CRT), in instructional materials?
2. Culturally Responsive Teaching: Do instructional materials omit Culturally Responsive
Teaching as it relates to CRT?
3. Social Justice: Do instructional materials omit Social Justice as it relates to CRT?
4. Social Emotional Learning: Do instructional materials NOT solicit Social Emotional
Learning (SEL), as these are considered extraneous and unsolicited strategies outside the
scope of subject-area standards?
