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.

Eurovision Song Contest - but have you ever wondered what happened to some of the contestants after the shows aired?Some contestants have risen to new levels of fame in soaps including EastEnders, while others have stepped away from music all-together and embarked on completely different careers.While we may all remember some of the biggest winners on the night, including Bucks Fizz and Katrina And The Waves, many famous faces have also represented the UK in decades gone by.Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday May 14, 2022, Daily Star takes a look at where some of the previous UK Eurovision contestants are now.Pop icon and British treasure Cliff Richard OBE has entered Eurovision, not once, but twice - narrowly missing out on winning the 1968 Song Contest by just one point.His classic song Congratulations was pipped to the post by Spain's La La La by Massiel, but five years later, Cliff returned with Power To All Our Friends - finishing third in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973.One of Eurovision's most successful entrants and biggest songwriters of all time, Cliff has released iconic hits including Move It, The Young Ones and Devil Woman, as well as becoming known as the King of Christmas - landing over five Christmas number ones in total including Mistletoe and Wine - so it is no surprise that he has an estimated net worth of over £70million.Although Cliff has never married or had children, it is reported that he dated Australian dancer Delia Wicks and tennis star Sue Barker in the past.Now 81 years old, he recently embarked on an 80th birthday tour, and was awarded an Order Of The British Empire (OBE in 1995), with the Cliff Richard News Twitter feed recently reporting that the star will be taking to an

'Implicit bias': DSU filing civil rights complaint after lacrosse team searched for drugs in Georgia
DOVER, Del. - A traffic stop turned drug search has taken yet another turn amid accusations of racial profiling.Delaware State University, a historically black college, will file a formal civil rights complaint against the Liberty County Sheriff's Department after the lacrosse team was stopped in Georgia, according to Tony Allen, the university's president.Allen says the deputies performed a "constitutionally dubious stop and search" of the lacrosse team and their bus as they drove home on April 20.The team was pulled over in Liberty County for an alleged minor traffic violation. Deputies then boarded the bus to announces they would be conducting a search."If there is something in there that is questionable, please tell me now because if we find it, guess what? We’re not going to be able to help you," one deputy said.Allen claims the stop and search was a violation of rights for every passenger on the bus, as well as the driver."Our first and most immediate concern was our students and coaches mental and physical well-being," he said.Allen says he has been in contact with Liberty County's sheriff, whose recent comments have raised several questions.Recently released body camera footage shows the deputies and drug-sniffing dogs searching the team's luggage and personal belongings.
