“Gov. Ron DeSantis says Florida is suing two major textbook publishers for overcharging Florida school districts – and was quick to add they push ‘egregious’ content in their instructional materials. Attorney General James Uthmeier filed suit Aug. 19 against McGraw Hill and Savvas Learning Co., specifically accusing the two publishers of bilking Florida school districts for textbooks. DeSantis also noted concerns he’s had with the textbook materials as well, saying their content is not ‘aligned with our standards.’ … The 26-page complaint filed in Leon County alleges that the publishers are violating Florida law, which requires them to give each Florida school district the lowest price offered to any other district in the country.” [editor’s note: If the price or content is unsatisfactory, don’t buy the books. “Problem” solved – TLK] (08/19/25)
