Opinion by Dana Milbank: DeSantis saves Florida kids from being indoctrinated with math
At a time when Floridians by law “don’t say gay,” much less “trans,” this banned book brazenly teaches about the “Transitive Property of Equality.
Right now, all Floridians should be fighting the radical socialists, but “Precalculus With Limits” is inviting children to find the “simplest form of a radical equation,” or even to take a perfectly normal equation and “rewrite with a radical.” Which radical? Saul Alinsky?This terrible tome is packed with mentions of “regression” and other forms of deviancy ; it tries to promote forbidden teachings about sexuality in requiring young people to identify “the product of conjugate pairs.
As radical as it is filthy, “Precalculus With Limits” tries to undermine parental authority. On Page 74, it teaches children how to “write an equation for the transformation of the parent function,” even providing “plotting points” for “translating a parent function.” Had this book hit the classrooms, kids would have been graphing parents out of existence with a “double stem-and-leaf plot.”The textbook sneaks critical race theory into the curriculum in insidious ways.
