Real world examples in math should be how to make change for a 20 , not how to choreograph a 9 person orgy 😂😢😢

BREAKING: Disney hits back HARD at Ron DeSantis and the GOP — says that Florida can't legally dissolve its self-governing district unless the state pays off the district's $1 billion debts due to a pledge in the original 1967 law.
Sometimes it pays to have good lawyers!

Where do you come from that an example like that is used in any book??? If you saw that example somewhere then I'm REALLY surprised FL didn't put that at the top of their list of samples of offending sections.

I'll certainly concede that there may be a place where 9 person orgies are used in math books, where elected officials actually represent their constituents, and where "we're from the Govt and we're here to help" is not a joke. In that fantasy world I would trust the process that censored math books with no transparency.

This post "tells me" that the specific reasons for rejection are not known. Could it have been perhaps a story problem involving someone named Juan or Jose? (gasp)

But, by golly, it's gotta be right because somebody on some screen somewhere said to think that. No details necessary. Just aim for the amygdala. Crank 'em up and reel 'em in. Keep throwin' the bait at 'em. Keep 'em in an emotional frenzy.

Math books! Geez. I cannot imagine what an English teacher will have to go through. But hey, soon public education will be destroyed by these power grabbers and kids will all be plugged into screens permanently -- the ultimate control -- and oh so easy.

I never should have looked at this thread. I looked only at the last several posts. That's enough.

The reasons for rejections have been published. It has nothing to do with "Juan" nor "Jose"...

That's your own racial bias bubbling up...

In which mathematics textbook will I find a real world example on how to choreograph a 9 person orgy? On which page of that textbook?

Or is that just more political hyperbolic tripe?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, right.

I think that tactic you are attempting to use is called projection.
