The Florida Department of Education has approved over 60 percent of K–12 social studies textbooks after removing or updating references to social justice issues, communism, and Black Lives Matter, officials announced on May 9.

In a press release, the department noted that it had initially approved just 19 percent of the more than 100 books it reviewed after discovering what it said were “inaccurate material, errors, and other information” that did not align with Florida law.
