Florida releases 2 examples claiming critical race theory in math textbooks

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - After a delay of nearly a week, the Florida Department of Education has released two examples that it says back up its rejection of dozens of math textbooks because they contained questions and exercises based on Common Core or critical race theory, issues that opponents say are not actual problems.The state did not identify which textbooks the examples come from, but one appears to be from an advanced high school algebra or statistics textbook and begins with the phrase, "What? Me? Racist?" It has students work with data reported by an online test that researchers say uncovers hidden attitudes toward different races.The other appears to come from a teacher's guide to a kindergarten or first-grade textbook. The lesson is entitled "Social and Emotional Learning - Building Student Agency"; students work together as they put the numbers 1 to 5 in proper order so they can "build proficiency with social awareness as they practice with empathizing with classmates."FLorida Gov.

So-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill puts years of fruitful relations between Disney, Florida at risk

ORLANDO, Fla. - The idea was presented to Florida lawmakers in a movie house outside Orlando 55 years ago, with Walt Disney, who had died less than two months earlier, helping make the pitch from the screen: Let Disney form its own government and in exchange it would create a futuristic city of tomorrow.That city never materialized, but Walt Disney World became an economic juggernaut with four theme parks and two dozen hotels, while its government retained unprecedented powers in deciding what and how to build, issuing bonds and holding the ability to build its own nuclear plant if it wanted.Now, five decades later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is asking lawmakers to end Disney's government in a move that jeopardizes the symbiotic relationship between the state and company.

Philadelphia mask mandate: Where you need to wear a mask

PHILADELPHIA - Masks are back in Philadelphia, but when and where you are required to wear them can be confusing. As of this week, Philadelphia is under an indoor mask mandate that was announced after the health department noted an uptick in new COVID-19 infections. The all encompassing mandate was thrown for a loop, however, when a federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate for public transportation that was recently extended by the Centers for Disease Control. The Justice Department said Tuesday it will not appeal the federal district judge’s ruling that ended the nation’s mask mandate on public transit unless the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the requirement is still necessary.In a statement released a day after a Florida judge ended the sweeping mandate, which required face coverings on planes and trains and in transit hubs, Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said officials believe that the federal mask order was "a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health." He said it was "an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve."Coley said the CDC had said it would continue to assess public health conditions, and if the agency determined a mandate was necessary for public health, the Justice Department would file an appeal.Philadelphia's health officials on Monday said it will bring back its indoor mask mandate on Apr.

Orlando FreeFall death: Operator made 'manual adjustments' to Tyre Sampson's seat, report says

ORLANDO, Fla. - The forensic investigation into how 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower ride at ICON Park concluded that one of the ride's harness sensors had been manually adjusted, falsely providing a safety OK, when Sampson was, in fact, not properly secured, according to the report's findings.Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said that findings by Quest Engineering, a forensics company hired by the state, determined that the operator of the Orlando FreeFall made manual adjustments to the ride's harness sensor "resulting in it being unsafe.""The report confirms that manual adjustments had been made to the sensor for the seat in question that allowed the harness to restraints opening to be almost double that of the normal restraints opening range," Fried said during a Monday afternoon press conference."These misadjustments allowed the safety lights to illuminate improperly satisfying the rides electronic safety mechanisms, that allowed the ride to operate even though Mr. Sampson was not properly secured in the seat."You can view a copy of Quest Engineering's report below.Fried said that there are many other potential contributing factors that may have played a role in the incident and the investigation continues.
