They banned math books because they contain the "=" sign. That pushed them over the edge.

Wait until they find out numbers can be non-binary... 😅😅😅

Math teacher here. Crying inside because no one remembers hypotenuse 😅😭

Honestly, ever since Amazon let people die during a storm instead of letting them go home, I've been going out of my way to not buy anything on Amazon. It's a bit more difficult but not impossible (I know me by myself won't make a dent, but its the principle of it for me)

Probably someone's family owns a certain textbook company, and the crt ban is just an excuse to get their textbooks chosen. They just overplayed their hand with the math!

So they have enough money to reject these books and buy more... but not enough to pay teachers?

For a long time, when I heard CRT I was like "what do old computer monitors have to do with anything?"

I love that he's back in front of an audience. The stand up comedian in him is thriving

I love that it is a weird fear of CRT that people are mad at and not the horrendous cost of textbooks across the whole educational spectrum.

Someone probably just used CTRL-F while browsing the text books, and if the word "black" appeared even once, that's CRT.

I can't remember if I've ever had an Arizona Iced tea... but I'm gonna buy one today because of this CEO's attitude towards inflation. That may sound sarcastic but I do not mean it that way, we vote with our dollar more effectively than we do at the ballot box. But it's still really important at the ballot box too!

When I was in high school, my choir went on a plane to Cali and our director wanted us to perform for the other passengers. I didn't participate because I thought it was very rude. What if someone was trying to sleep. I am team grumpy man all the way.

I loved Arizona Ice Tea before, and I love it even more now!

it's like the kids who hated school grew up and got into a position to make the choices their 8yo self would've made. "math? we don't need no stinking math!" "history? we don't need no stinking history!"

Subjecting others to your beliefs in a confined space where they can't ignore you or get away is horrible.

I know we laugh but boycotting Amazon is the best idea. Wish we could unite and do this.

We have 482 open teacher positions posted in our county in Florida. I wonder who will teach our kids with all the politics against teaching and teachers.

Wonder if one of the book publishers accused of having "CRT" will sue for an unfair bidding process and make Florida prove CRT in the books.

There are 2 versions of CRT. 1. Culturally Responsive Teaching. Basically teaching without cultural bias, providing a safe, inclusive and supportive classroom environment for all students. Why would we ban this? 2. Cultural Race Theory, a graduate level law class, never taught in K-12, never proposed to teach in K-12. When we started learning about the Tulsa Greenwood massacre, Red Summer, Emmit Till, and more atrocities committed in our own country, when Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, the racists got scared. They decided to erase all history related to racism and Civil Rights. They often use the word "abomination." Here they have illustrated it. Whitewashing history is an abomination.

As someone who recently attended Florida schools: I can tell you that I have never encountered anything CRT related. I will tell you though, that there are real problems with our school system which is a shitshow. CRT is not a problem at all. I will say it again: CRT is not a problem in Florida schools. Terrible administrators, lack of proper funding, terrible schedules, poor treatment of teachers, teaching useless classes, focusing on heavy testing with no learning, no prep for careers, rampant drug use, lack of care for students’ mental and physical health, terrible food, etc. Those were just a few. Banning CRT is at worst, a distraction to give Florida gov a reason not to fix the schools, or at best, a completely misguided attempt to “fix” the schools. It is one thing to believe that solving one problem will magically fix everything. It’s another to believe solving a nonexistent problem will somehow count as doing something. Florida gov didn’t fix anything, they just made things unnecessarily worse and confusing. Though that’s not anything new to me. I love this state but I hate the morons in Tallahassee.

I work part time at a gelato shop, and the owners were talking to me yesterday about all these gouging companies-- everything from supplies to food. And I may not be a huge Biden fan, but to lay blame for this mess on his shoulders is grossly inaccurate and misrepresentative of the true causes. Shoutout to Arizona Ice Tea

I used to work in an elementary school and I did math support for 4th grade. In January, I was transferred to the middle school and was talking with a previous student. When I jokingly told her that the teacher (her former teacher) was sad to see me go because I was one of the few staff members who could do 4th grade math, her face lit up. “You mean I don’t need to know 4th grade math?!” Her current math teacher wasn’t happy with me, lol And I wouldn’t be surprised if math books were banned if someone realized that Arabic numerals were invented by Muslims

I’ve lived in Florida for a decade now, and this STILL does not surprise me

The rejected Math textbooks addressed *social-emotional learning* in a variety of ways. "Some of them were quite awkward," . "There was one fifth grade math textbook from McGraw-Hill that had sort of a simple fractions question, and then right underneath it said, 'How do you understand your feelings?'” NPR -How social-emotional learning became a target for Ron DeSantis and conservatives. New York Times national correspondent Goldstein and her colleague Stephanie Saul reviewed 21 of the rejected math textbooks and found very little mention of race. Instead, Goldstein theorizes the objections related to the inclusion of topics concerning social-emotional learning (SEL).

Speaking of boycotting Amazon... Here's a tip - find the product you want on Amazon, find the supplier's name in the description then order the product DIRECTLY from the originating store (company). I find this allows me ease of locating but also cuts out the MONEY GRUBBING "middleman"! I'd rather spend a few cents more than pour my hard earned money to someone like Bezos and Amazon's lecherous board/ shareholders.

I love how Trevor put a fresh take on one of the oldest jokes in the book: 7, 8, 9. And thanks for making me feel smart for still knowing what a hypotenuse is. a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is also used to triangulate the shortest distance from one point to another. NYers do it all the time by going down Broadway.

As a Floridian, we do not know what the government of our State is doing.

I just got a can of Arizona Iced Tea, but the painted on-can tag said $1.49. A movie theatre in my area also sells cans labelled on-can for $2.99. Finally, awhile ago, an Amazon Iced-Tea used to be 22oz. at launch, then 18, 16, to now they're 14oz. at stores and 12oz. at the theatre.

I’ve been boycotting Amazon for years unless absolutely necessary… thank you Trever for calling them out and shining light on Arizona ice tea for doing the right thing.🙏🏼

I'm a flight attendant. There was once a church group that started singing at the back of the plane. They didn't have a guitar or stand up, but it was like they were on a bus, and singing camp songs. I went to tell them to stop. You can't listen to Spotify without headphones, so half the plane singing seemed like an acceptable thing to shut down. They weren't hostile or rude but after the flight I heard someone yell something about "America!" for all I know they were coming home after an international trip, but I do think they were probably feeling persecuted and tell that story to this day.

CRT math: "Jamal is travelling on a train going east at 60 mph while Fang is travelling west..."

The 789 joke had me dying 😭😂

"Don't know much about history. Don't know much biology. Don't know about science books. Don't know much about the French I took..." I can JUST imagine how badly education metrics in Florida will look in a year or two.

How crazy is it that everyone’s losing their minds over a single company that ISN’T raising their prices 😂

at this point, as a floridian, my embarrassment is renewed by desantis on a daily basis

This is how US slowly gets left behind, while other countries excel.

There must be a question that's like: If America were to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves, how would you calculate for inflation?

I once had an issue with Arizona Tea for its high amount of sugar. But now, I can certainly say, they are trying he hardest to sweeten our heart. My respect to the CEO

Headlines killed me. Thank you for the laughs 🤪

Nicely done, Trevor. Glad to see the audience back as well.. Really helps the pacing of the show.

Arizona Icetea CEO said it straight. Inflation is a coup of big cooperations to keep up their win margins.

Can I have one example of CRT in these books that isn't just some random story of some teacher going too far. I want an actual book reference. More specifically, a Florida math text book. One of the 41% rejected, if we don't know which they did, then I'm sure someone can find one, you have a 41% chance to when you look apparently. UPDATE: They released some examples! So, the few "CRT" ones were kind of out of place and understandable why they would complain, like correlating age and racism, stuff like that. The other one was trying to teach empathy and stuff, not really math, but not really bad either. I think their biggest mistake was making this about CRT instead of actual weirdness in the books.

How many people can even remember the quadratic equation? The most basic equation from Algebra????? I can reteach myself every decade and do it but I NEVER use it in everyday work! How can CRT be used in math? I am just baffled!

LOL that was the best argument I have heard for the singing on the plane. :)

Of course the companies aren't raising prices to "keep up" with inflation. They're literally causing the inflation by raising prices.

It's great to see Trevor smiling and laughing with the audience. You can see he is enjoying himself more.

0:55 she’s on media commenting, but doesn’t know what’s in books too?? Let’s read up before forming opinions for the masses.

The worst is when a Dollar Store charges $1.25 for it's items. That negates the whole point!

If a bunch of children started loudly singing christian music in the middle of my flight I would also not be super thrilled, and I go to church.

Like companies raising rent 42% when income hasn’t risen 42% just because they can

The sad truth is, there probably was copious amounts of CRT in some of those math books. 🤣

Lol! I used to tell my son that same joke - Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9…😂

Lost it when he started singing WAP like that, nearly triggered an asthma attack laughing 🤣💀

Tell Desantis the same thing all my math teachers told me "Show your work"

the milkshake gets me every time. there was a joke made one time in high school when the teacher had the class watch "war of the worlds" and a black kid said "go ahead watch the movie, watch as the white man shoots at the dark colored objects".

dude, a hypotenuse is just the longest side of a triangle

Oh Florida. The taint of the Us

What Florida is doing is trolling. Zero K-5 math books contained CRT, but most contain Common Core, (since 90+% of states have that as their education standard.) By looping them together Florida GOP appeals to their base, and get a bunch of news coverage, but they aren’t at all the same. As for what is in Common Core: it focuses less on just memorizing 2+2=4, and more on things like skills: can you read a word problem, is 2+2 or 2+3 bigger, etc… Florida doesn’t want that.

I still can't get over "Mall? That's a great name! Because it's got the-m'all there!"

Your bit on inflation is perfect and on point. I had a Ford dealership try to *double* the price of an oil change while citing inflation. Little did they know that I called their parts department earlier that day and asked the price of the oil, and they were tacking on another $5+/qt of oil when getting that oil through the service department. I told the guy that I refused to be price gouged because they decide to hike the pricing in the name of inflation, just because they can. I ended up escaping there paying the original price.

The Ron Desantis picture on Florida iced tea was the cherry on top of that joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We need of a list of companies that are absorbing the cost and support them!! Let me know if there is a list.

I was really confused why about what they had against old computer monitors.

Y'all killing those onscreen sessions. Loved that s&p presentation. Huckin Filarious!

Boycott Amazon and shop local. If you want your town to improve, you have to invest in local stores.

It's like how the owner of Costco has kept their hot dog price at $1.50

I'm such a tech dork that when I hear CRT, I think TVs....how we transitioned from CRT to Plasma TVs, to LCD, to LED and now OLED

You had me with "the blessed Madonna" 🤣🤣🤣

Add this to the ever growing list of reasons to homeschool my children. Also, remind me never to go to Florida.

Arizona Tea realized that if people can't afford to buy your product, your profit margins are going to be terrible. Why don't people understand that we can't have a consumer-based economy if people can't afford to consume? If the people making, shipping, or selling your product can't buy it... who are you really selling it to?

"If I said nobody leaves this studio until we find the hypotenuse." 😂

That Liam Neeson part 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Forcing people to listen to christian songs is passive-agressively forceing christianity upon other people via harrassment. People have a right to believe in whatever they want without being shamed, or targeted.

1:15 I'll tell you why they're moving on to math books. They just got you to say, "I get finding CRT in History books," when there isn't any.

The dollar store now charges 1.25. LOL! I just added AriZona Iced Tea to my grocery list. :)

This is one of my favorites from Trevor. I laughed so hard 🤣😂

High school math teacher here, I got parents questioned me why I showed my kids a Shark Tank video. So what Shark Tank video that I showed my kids ? A short clip like 3 minutes of a high school kid got an offer from a shark for a third of her company, she didn't like the offer so she countered the shark with 25% of her business. Then we talked what a third means and 25% means and stuff...

Re: Inflation. When many companies are making RECORD PROFITS, the price increases cannot be blamed on merely inflation... or Joe Biden... or anything other than corporate greed..

Whatever happened to Arizona pink lemonade though? Memories of my childhood 🤣

That choir wap was mad impressive.. 🙃

The anti-cancel culture that is literally cancelling everything from Disney to math books and everything else they can make into an issue that's really a non-issue!😒

Also, those math books probably had dem scary Arabic numerals. I wonder if Florida could find some nice math books that only use Roman numerals?

Everything in the Dollar Tree is now 1.25 when it all use to be just 1.00.

That Holy WAP though 😭😂

If someone started playing a guitar and singing at the top of their voice right next to me, I'd be very irked too. And it wouldn't matter what type of music or where the venue as was. (But I would be especially irked at Christian music next to me on a plane.) It's just an incredibly rude thing to do.

The only time I'm proud to be an Arizonan. And I've been happy to spend on their products for years. ♥

I tell you what…..some of these Circle K store owners down here in Houston, Texas have their own can where the $.99 logo is gone and are charging over a $1 for it! And I’ve only seen it at Circle K.

Michael Costa is LOL 😂🤣😆

It's amazing how many people hate CRT, but don't know what it is. lol

Florida in six months: “What?! HOW do we have the LOWEST EDUCATION LEVELS IN THE COUNTRY?!? How could this HAPPEN?!?”

Algebra and Malcolm X. That was really funny

It’s so nice to actually hear the crowd laughter again

to be honest I'd love to see a boycott of amazon

Every time I see the abbreviation CRT the first thing that pops up in my head is a CRT monitor (cathode-ray tube) monitor. It's driving me nuts.

They want to get contracts for their own brand of books :D

😂😂 it’s the church segment for me lol

For my final exam, i had to deal with a sphere in 3D space defined by an equation, and caculate how it intersects with a plane in 3D space, defined by an equation. The result was obviously going to be a circle, tilted, which i had to define using the correct equation in 3D space, and i had to do it by hand. Calculator only for basic operations. Turns out you only need to equate the two equations, and then wrestle them down correctly using algebra, because for the intersecting circle you only need all the points for which both equations are correct. Eventually it collapses down to the circle equation you need.

A lot of companies are not raising prices. They're simply making portions smaller for the same price like Pepsi and many others. Called Shrinkflation, probably also what Arizona will do. Shaving 2-3oz off the can would barely be noticed at that size.

remember the days when CRT was a TV or a big fat computer monitor?

I didn’t expect to see the church in my town featured 😭😭
